Pilot light of gas fireplace went out. Normally the pilot light is lit, and you turn on the fireplace with a light switch on the wall. Is it safe to relight the pilot with a match ?

Gas fireplaces have a button that needs to be pressed to allow the pilot to ignite. One you have ignition, the thermostat adjustment should fire up the burner. Remember, prior to the steps mentioned, your Gas Service should be ON. Gas available and the ON/OFF knob at the source (gas line) turned to ON. You may need a lighter, like that used for a candle to fire up the PILOT.

Your fireplace does have a pilot. It is either millivolt, where you manually light the pilot and use a remote or wall switch to light the logs
or is IPI where it still has a pilot light but the reote or wall switch lights the pilot first then the logs. The second version has a non-standing pilot. In either case, it sounds like a pilot assembly issue. When you "throw the switch", do you hear clicking inside the fireplace? If so and it does not light, you may have a pilot assembly issue. If there is no sound at all, then you may have a bigger issue with the control module. The only sure way to know which is the culprit is to have a certified technician come oput and examine your fireplace.

I'm not sure about that brand, but I finally figured out how to turn the one in the house I just moved into. The only visible control if you have not accessed the fireplace controls before is the switch on the wall. The wall switch is strictly an on off switch, but it only works if the pilot light is already lit, and the pilot light will not go out by turning off the wall switch. To access the controls, first pull out the vent covers, they are simply held in place with pressure buttons on each end. Behind the lower vent are the controls for the pilot light and fire intensity, mine also contained a metal plate with the instructions printed on it. Open the glass door by opening the four latches, two on top and two on bottom, and then swinging it out on its hinge. You will find the gas spout for the pilot light hidden between the logs. Turn on the main gas line by turning the straight edge of the red handle parallel with the gas line. Turn the gas control to pilot, by pushing in and turning, and then push in all the way to start gas flowing. I like to have a match already lit next to the valve when I start the gas. After the pilot light has been on for about 60 seconds let go of the button and it will return to its normal position. Then turn the control to on and turn on the wall switch, the main burners should start lighting. Close the glass and put the vent covers back in place and your ready to enjoy the fireplace :)

Majestic DVR36RN: Here's what you need to do: Verify gas line is open. (You said you already have done that). Next turn the switch to pilot (you said you did that too). Make sure wall switch is on also. Now press and hold the pilot switch and hit the ignitor. Once it lights you need to continue to hold the pilot switch for roughly 1 minute. Release the knob and the flame should stay lighted. Now, turn the knob to on. You should be all set now.

my fireplace lights up for a short time and goes out after 5 or 10 minutes, please help with this problem.

It sounds like the Ignition Control Module went out, as I've heard the vibrating noise you speak of just before the module "dies." You most likely have the gray Robertshaw control module box located under the fireplace connecting the power to the gas valve. You will need to have a Certified Gas Fireplace Specialist look into this issue and replace, if necessary.

instruction on a metal plate inside the fp bottom door
the knob will have pilot/ on/off marked on it on gas valve, you have to line the pilot word up with the white mark on valve then knob can press all the way in, now press it in hit the res or black sparker button and you should get pilot falme in a few tries, once you see flame keep the button in on valve for 30 secs then release turn it to ON and turn youe switch on

First, turn the wall switch to the off position. Second, turn the key all the way tcountercockwise to the open position. At the front of the unit, below the hearth opening there is a black front access panel. Should have a little recessed part. pull it out and expose the gas valve. Turn the plunger/knob that says off, on, pilot to the pilot position. You'll knw your in the pilot position when it lines up with the indicator (usually a red or black mark on the gas valve body). If you are in the pilot position, you will be able to push in the pilot (it will feel springy). Push the plunger in and then push the red button (piezo ignition button) in until it makes a snapping sound. You may have to do this several times because the air has to bleed out from the pilot tubing. This should light the pilot BUT wait. DO NOT LET GO OF THE PLUNGER ONCE THE PILOT IS LIT. You need to keep the plunger depressed for about 30 seconds and then let it go. After 30 seconds let the plunger go and verify the pilot is lit. If not try the last step over. After the pilot is lit, you may turn the plunger/knob to the on position. Now go back to the wall switch and flip it on. If it doesn't come on tap it hard. Sometimes dust can actually prevent it from making good connection. I work on fireplaces for a living and coincidentally worked on this model today. Simple as pie.

I have a Model 792864B. Before you attempt to light the pilot light - make sure that any wall control switch or remote control for the fireplace is in the off position. Locate the gas supply line. There should be a gas supply valve to turn on the gas supply. The valve is usually painted a different color than the supply line like blue, green or yellow. Open the valve by pivoting the handle to be parallel to the gas line, usually counter-clockwise. When it is closed it is at a 90 degree angle from the supply line. Locate the pilot light assembly - this is the pilot light. There should also be a red or black ignitor button and a black or green valve control knob with the words "on" "off" and "pilot" on it. It may be located inside a black box, mine is marked heatolator, that has a lift off top. Lift off the top of the box. Push in the valve control knob and turn it until the word "pilot" is in line with the arrow (my arrow is red) or indicator line. While pressing and holding in the valve control knob - it presses in about 1/4", press the red or black ignitor button repeatedly (once per second) until the pilot ignites. Once the pilot is lit, continue to hold the valve knob in for about 30 seconds and then slowly release. The pilot should remain lit. If it remains lit, press in and turn the valve control knob to the "on" position. The on/off wall or remote control switch should now light your fireplace. If the pilot doesn't ignite, turn off gas supply valve, wait about 5 minutes and try it again.
