Hi everyone!
I have a Heat-n-Glo 6000XLT with remote RCT-MLT-HNG. The fireplace will not start often times when I use the remote.
The pilot light is going strong and I have replaced the ThermoPile and the mV read 750 on the TP.
I pulled off most connections and cleaned and re-tightened them. Made sure there are new batteries in the remote.
When I use the remote, I can hear the "click" sound from the remote or somewhere in the cotrol panel ujnder the fireplace.
"Usually", if I use the manual switch, the burner comes on, but there have been a few occasions where I had to try several times beofre the burner comes on.
If the TP is OK and the remote seems to be responding..,. what's left ? The gas valve/regulater?
Oh... the remote "Flame Adjustment Hi/Lo" works fine once the burner is lit. So the solenoid isn't "stuck".
I have tried the tapping of the solonoid/regulator but can't tell if it made any difference. The remote still turns on the burner intermittantly.
If it's the gas valve/regulator or something fairly major like that, I'll call the local HNG service tech. But if it's something a little simpler, like having to replace the remote or receiver, I can handel that.
I'd appreciate any guidance or suggestions.
Thanks.
