If you let it warm up for 5 mins can you turn it down then. most of them need time to warm up. if it still does it you will need service.

SOURCE: Gas fireplace pilot flame won't stay lit.

Hi , you can try and pull the panel on the bottom of fireplace out and check the adapter in fireplace. Sometimes they go bad. When you open in also check to see if there is an adapter plugged in and a option to use the battery operated function. If this goes bad the pilot will not stay lit.

SOURCE: my heat n glow fireplace comes on fine with all

You may have a few sensors, one may be a thermopile that energizes the pilot. It is a very thin but long bulb located in the pilot flame. Then you may have something called a thermopile which is also located in the pilot flame that energizes the main gas valve. It is a larger diameter bulb and will have metal wrapped wireg going to the gas valve. If the pilot stays on but the flame goes out under the logs, change your thermopile and look for a bad connection at the gas valve or switch. If both the main burner and the pilot goes out you may have a gas valve problem or a plugged vent pipe. If the flame just disappears it is most likely a gas valve. If the flame changes colors and lifts from the burner, that is a sign of a plugged vent. Good luck.

Febo flame electric fireplace model number ZHS-32-A has power flame but only heat for a minute or two why. Vacuumed all dust but no change

There could be a few potential issues that could cause your Febo Flame electric fireplace to only produce heat for a minute or two before shutting off. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the fireplace for any debris or obstruction that may be causing the problem. Use a flashlight to inspect the interior of the fireplace and remove any debris you find.
  2. Check the heating element for any damage or wear. If the heating element is damaged or worn, it may need to be replaced.
  3. Check the thermostat to make sure it is functioning properly. The thermostat controls the heating element and can cause the fireplace to shut off if it is not working correctly.
  4. Check the control panel for any loose or damaged components. Tighten any loose components and replace any damaged parts as needed.
  5. Check the power cord and outlet for any damage or loose connections. Make sure the cord is securely plugged into the outlet and that the outlet is functioning properly.

My fireplace insert flame won't stay on. the pilot light is working fine.

So the pilot stays on all the time, but the main burner flames keeps shutting off? Allot of fireplaces run on what is called millivolts. You could have a weak millivolt generator, weak pilot, not getting the generator hot enough or you could have some loose connections. I would consult a fireplace shop

Its to hot

Are the flames more than a couple of inches high? Do they have a lot of yellow coloring to them? Please be sure that the orifice for the fireplace is converted to the proper gas type. A common mistake is to have a natural gas orifice in a LP fireplace. The flames are way too high and the heat is very intense and this creates a very unsafe fire hazard situation. You may want to have a qualified technician come out and examine the fireplace for you.

Gas fireplace manuals

There are two things that control flame height gas volume and air volume. Some fireplaces have a flame control knob on the gas valvd to adjust flame height. Air volume is controlled by an air shutter usually located where the main gas orifice enters the burner. There is usually a small cover that will need to be removed to access the shutter. Closing the shutter will cause the flames to become taller and more yellow colored. Closing the shutter too far will cause sooting problems so great care should be taken in adjusting this shutter.As a rule, L.P. gas fireplaces do not have as high of a flame as natural gas unit do.
Hope this helps

Fireplace will start but shuts off in about 30 seconds

Here's a few things to look for. After you light the pilot and turn on the burner, look at the pilot flame. Is it still a strong blue flame and it is still heating the thermocouple? If the pilot flame is a lazy yellow, it may not be able to keep a good enough flame on the thermocouple to keep it hot. The solution? Turn it all off and let it cool down. Take a can of compressed air, like you use to clean computer keyboards, and using the attached straw, blow out the dust or spider web that's partially blocking your pilot orifice. Where the pilot flame is usually lit, blow right down that flange, as well as through the air hole that is on the side of the pilot assembly. If you do it right, the pilot flame should be a nice and strong blue color. Another thought. Is this a vented or unvented fireplace? If it's vented, make sure it has the oxygen it needs to burn by checking for blocked vents or opening a closed fireplace fume above it.
