Remote controlled gas log fire will not ignite,relaced batteries,cleaned logs etc,worked a couple of times then refused to ignite again ,can hear ignition ticking but cannot hear any gas coming through , will not ignite, also banging noise from gas pipe when trying to ignite?

Sometimes the gas in the supply line to the fire can disperse over a few months. It is worth holding on to the ignition for a couple of minutes (giving it a spark every 30 sec or so) to make sure it is flushed. If you smell gas then stop!

If you want to check if your remote is working and you have a cell phone that takes pictures hold the remote in front of the camera and when you have a pitre of the remote press the button and you see it on the camera if you don't the remote is not working hope this helps (this goes for all remotes ) Tom

Typically, if the pilot stays on and the logs won't light, the thermopile or entire pilot assembly could be bad. If you have an IPI system [automatic lighting system from remote or wall switch] there may be an issue with the control module.

OPEN the r.control and clean the keypads for dirty, oxide, corrosion with contacts cleaner , tight the spring contacts batteries for better contact, use the plier and clean it.
and try again.

God bless you

Wait 30 minutes; press reset button. Repeat if necessary. 4. Pilot light out. 4. Relight pilot. 5. No gas. 5. Make sure gas valve to furnace is fully open. Not enough ... home.howstuffworks.com/how-to-repair-gas-furnaces1.htm

Just checked this site. I am sure you will find it useful - Good luck

Problem: Your furnace will not ignite the gas to produce heat for your home. When a furnace has a bad ignitor what I see most of the time is the following sequence of operation:

1. Thermostat calls for heat. 2. Draft inducer motor starts. 3. Pressure switch attached by a small plastic or rubber tube senses the negative pressure produced by the draft inducer and closes. 4. Draft inducer runs for 30 seconds to a minute before you hear a gas hissing sound. The ignitor did not glow, the flame sensor (a small metal probe about 1/8" in diameter, with a white porcelain base) does not sense the flame, so after 8 to 10 seconds the hissing sounds stops with no ignition of gas to heat your home. Your furnace shuts down and goes into a lock out condition until you turn your power switch back off and on again. Then the sequence starts all over again with no ignition of the gas. Solution:You probably need to purchase and install a new ignitor. I would suggest that you inspect your ignitor closely for cracks. Make sure you do not touch the ignitor with your bare hands. If you do not visually see a crack, then you could have a furnace control board problem or a limit, rollout switch problem. The furnace's control board might not be supplying the voltage to the ignitor. If your furnace lights and the gas stays on for 8 to 10 seconds, then shuts right back off, then you need to clean your flame sensor with light sand paper or steel wool. You might need a new flame sensor, but most of the time they can be cleaned an will work well after cleaning.

Hi, when you say that when you turn on the switch to the on position to fire the logs, is this poomp you hear a short burst of gas igniting? If it is and it doesn't stay on, this is a sign of your manifold pressure being to high, or also the burners are plugged as we call this poomp, pre- ignition, or delayed. We know that the thermocouple is good as the pilot is staying light and you have a good strong pilot flame, so if the main gas valve is trying to lite by this poof you are hearing, the problem would more then likely be dirty or plugged burners/burner and that's where I would be looking to clean out. Now, if you hit the switch and you hear a noise but no gas starts to flow, the problem would be in the main gas valve coil opening for a split second or just clicking and not opening. In this case, your gas valve has failed you. It would be a standard valve that you could pick up at any appliance parts house, millivolt that you could replace your self. In any case, it just sounds as though you need to get to the burner or burners and check to see if the have built up soot over the last 5 years. I don't believe it is anything serious that you can't repair. A little TLC should take care of your problem.

I would really like to know what you find and I will be hear if this doesn't solve your problem, but I am confident it will if you do the things I have asked.

did you put new batteries in both the remote and the remote sensor box . if so you will need a new remote you can buy for about 100 bucks it includes the remote and remote sensor, its not hard to install . any gas log supplier can assist you

yes

The igniter has a replaceable battery in it. Put in a new battery and you should be back in business provided that you have gas coming into your logs
