[QUOTE="JacobDaddy, post: 2681893, member: 7280"] Wife and I have a gas log fireplace that was in our house when we purchased it a few months ago. My wife loves a good fire and loves the smell of a real fireplace burning. This house had everything that we wanted with the exception of a real fireplace. Since this house has a gas log fireplace my wife compromised and agreed to purchasing the house. Purchased the house during the summer, never checked the gas log. Now it is winter and we are having trouble with it. I have done a little bit of reading online and watching some youtube videos but I can't find much out there about this gas log. I hope someone on here can help me out. The pilot light runs without problem, has since the first time we tried it. The problem is that it won't do anything more than that. I at first suspected that the flame sensor wasn't working so I started troubleshooting it like the youtube videos on my old furnace. Cleaned the flame sensor with emory cloth (white buildup on it) and tried to run it again, no change. That's when I got my el cheapo volt meter out (ya know the one that Harbor Freight will give you with any purchase and a coupon) and took some measurements. It would appear that the flame sensor is working (but I don't know if it is working well enough because I don't know what the values should be). And the On/Off switch appears to be working (but same deal, I don't know what the values should be). Anybody on the board know more than I about these things? Here is the model info that I have. [ATTACH=CONFIG]44545[/ATTACH] Here is a measurement with the thermopile (I saw that term in the manual, otherwise it is a flame sensor to me) cooled down mostly and the pilot off. [ATTACH=CONFIG]44546[/ATTACH] Here is a measurement with the thermopile in the pilot flame and it heated up pretty well [ATTACH=CONFIG]44547[/ATTACH] Here is a picture with my meter on ohms and running across the switch, with the switch off [ATTACH=CONFIG]44548[/ATTACH] And the switch on (guess I will post in another post since I can only do four images per post. Here is the manual that I found online.
