Gas Fireplace Shuts Off After A Few Seconds

Why does my gas fireplace go out after only a few minutes of running.

Gas fireplace shuts off after a few seconds.

My heatilator gas fireplace was on during a recent high wind and may have blown out. Gas fireplace shuts off and pilot goes out. It starts up fine runs for about 5 10 minutes than completely shuts off pilot and all. The latter kept going out after about half an hour even when the dial showed it as on.

The fireplace does not have an automatic tempature shut off.

I have replaced the valve the thermopile and over temp sensor. After it goes out and i attempt to relight it the burners will only stay lit for about 5 mins.

To make sure the key is in the right position you can jingle it a little until the lock slid into its place in the keyhole. After that you should turn the key a half turn.

Service people checked and cleaned all wire contacts but still no success. Though i don t worry too much about carbon monoxide poisoning i figured there must be some safety device to shut off the gas valve. It should say on until i manually turn it off i found that when i first light it the burners stay lit for maybe 15 20 mins. This action will start the gas flow into the fireplace logs.

You need to remember to turn it counterclockwise.
