See the video (hopefully it works). Heat & Glo propane with a wired wall switch, about 8 or so years old.

Sometimes it doesn't even light, sometimes it works fine (stays lit w/no issues), and sometimes it does this the whole time - then works fine for a bit, followed by more "hiccups".

When the flame goes out, there is a clicking (assuming that is the igniter, not sure you can hear it b/c of the fan), followed by the slight boom of the excess propane igniting.

Thoughts? I'm thinking something may need to be cleaned, but I'm not even sure where to look. Trying to avoid paying a crazy service fee.....
TIA.
