First let me say thanks to all and it's great to have found this place. Thank GOD for the internet. We just bought a home that has a Majestic Vermont Castings DV580 fireplace with the RF Comfort Control Valve system. This is a in-the-wall installed fireplace. The home was built in 2002 so I'm going to assume that is about the age of the fireplace,
Now my problem. I lit the pilot as instructed and waited for the all-clear LED to go off. Well instead I have a LED count code of 7 which the manual says "Confirm stepper motor connection exists" Anyone know what that may be or look like or heck what a stepper motor even is? Thanks

The stepper motor is the mechanism that will turn the gas valve
up or down to raise & lower the flame height/heat output/gas usage.
The resolution to the error light may be as simple as changing the
batteries in the remote sending unit, receiver or both...
I realize this probably doesn't do you a whole lot of good, but that's the
first place I'd look at...
Haven't worked on one of these valves in 5 years or more &
CRS is catchin up with me...
 
Ah so the receiver may have a battery in it as well? That makes sense as only the fan is plugged into the outlet. I'll check that. BTW what does CRS mean?
