d. Check for loose or miss plugged spade at connections

e. Check voltages at light dimmer switch 120 VAC

f. Is the dimmer bad? (disconnect and ohm dimmer with volt meter)

g. Check voltages at FCM 120 VAC, & verify plugged into correct outlet (AUX OUT)

h. Check voltage at AUX plug in on FCM

i. Possible bad dimmer

ii. Possible bad bulb

ii. Possible bad Fan Control Module (FCM)

2. Pilot keeps sparking all the time, with pilot lit or with pilot not lit

a. Is the gas turned on to the unit?

b. Blocked pilot orifice or pilot tube? Insect? Inswool/rock wool? Air/gas port on pilot blocked?

c. Is the flame from the pilot wrapping around the rectification rod?

d. Is Flame rectification rod dirty (use 3m pad to clean / sand rectification rod and pilot hood)

e. Check for broken ceramics that might short out flame rod (Can you wiggle flame rod?)

f. Check for loose connection on Flame rectification rod at digital fireplace burner control module

g. Check orange wire on valve for DC power. Does pilot coil open by using the battery test?

h. Make sure pilot assembly is grounded or that valve is grounded (green/yellow wire)

Fuses in the FCM

Fuse F1=6A 250 volt 6.3x32mm (Fast)

Fuse F3=5A 250 volt 5x20mm (Fast)

3. Standing Pilot Switch doesn’t work

a. Unit in lockout mode? See page 11

b. Check the standing pilot switch and verify it’s plugged in correct.

i. Unhook switch, jumper past switch with a jumper wire

ii. Jumper Pin 5 & 6 on Digital Fireplace box, Blue & White wire

c. What is DC voltage on pin 2 & 3 of Digital Valve Control box (see page 5)

d. 3Com wire connector, take DC voltage measurement on outside 2 wires (grey & red wire)

i. Possible bad IPI / CPI Switch.

ii. Possible bad Fan Control Module.

iii. Possible bad wiring harness (see current parts manual for p/n)

4. Fireplace or Insert will not light burners. Has light and blower control only.

a. Is the unit in lockout mode? See page 11 to clear lockout mode

b. Is remote in a thermostatic mode (ON or SMART)?

i. if in thermostatic mode, is set temperature set lower than room temp?

c. Is the receiver in the OFF position?

d. Is the 14 pin plug in the back of the receiver plugged in tight? (Pro Flame I only)

e. What is DC voltage on pin 2 & 3 of Digital Valve Control box (see page 5)

f. What is the DC voltage going to Green Coil & Orange coil on valve?

g. Is the Orange pilot wire hooked to the valve? What is DC voltage of orange wire?

h. Do the coils click by doing a battery test on coil tabs?

i. Is there a blockage from an insect or inswool (was pilot off over the summer?)

j. When you lose AC voltage, you’ll lose fireplace, UNLESS batteries are installed.

k. Has DFC connector been removed from unit (pertains to older PF 1 model units only)

If DFC connector has NOT been removed

1. Shut off all AC power and remove batteries before cutting out DFC connector.

2. Cut 1 wire at a time, cutting out DFC connector

3. Strip & wire nut red wires together, and strip & wire nut black wires together.

3. Turn back on AC power, if this does not work, check power on wires for 6 volts DC

4. If still no power, check your FCM for AC power and check your wire connections.

Remember, batteries are only used when AC power to fireplace is not present

5. Rear Burner Won’t work (won’t turn on or won’t turn off)

a. Is burner on via remote?

b. Was pilot was shut off over the summer? Possible insect blocking gas to burner.

c. Check to verify 14 pin connector is plugged into back of receiver correctly

d. Check to make sure rear solenoid is plugged in (pink & blue wire)

e. Check voltage on connectors (DC voltage 6 VDC pink & blue wires)

f. Possible bad Rear Solenoid Valve

g. Possible bad receiver. Ensure step c was checked before replacing receiver.

h. Does the pilot still spark? If so see page 6 (step 2)

6. Fans won’t work

a. Are the fans on via the remote?

b. Is remote in Thermostat mode? See bottom of page

c. Check A/C voltage at FCM & check power switch

d. Is fan plugged in the FAN outlet on FCM?

e. Unplug fans, plug cord into an extension cord, do they work?

f. Check all connections to fan.

g. **DXV DT3 units will have a snap disk & rheostat.

Jumper or heat up snap disk. FV units do not have snap or rheostat disk!

i. Possible bad Fan Control Module

ii. Possible bad blower p/n 15-02-00064 right** 15-02-00065 left **

*blowers are reversed in FV41 & FV41Arched & FV44 & FV33 & ML47 & ML39

*DXV units DXV DT3 units only use a snap disk p/n 05-01-00157 & Rheostat p/n 10-01-0000

Note, in OFF THERMOSTAT mode, do blowers work?

Note, blowers won’t turn on until unit has been on 5 minutes in Smart or On thermostat mode.

Blowers will shut off 12 minutes after unit has reached set temp in Smart or On thermostat mode.

In Off Thermostat mode you should have blower control right away & blowers will shut off with remote

7. NO flame/BTU adjustment (flame height)

a. Check gas pressure. IN & OUT taps with regulator on high front burner on. Verify pressures are changing

from high to low with manometer.

b. Make sure Regulator/stepper motor is connected (motorized)

c. Verify an insect isn’t restricting gas to burners (pull burners and inspect)

d. Check to make sure you have correct orifices in front and rear burner

**LP/Propane units may not see the flame height change compared to NG

NG & LP/Propane units will change water columns when regulating BTU output.

e. Possible bad receiver (rare) but if not regulator, could be receiver.

Thought, if you have receiver, swap out first since it’s easier to change!

If the unit still does not work, swap back receiver and change reg/stepper motor

**1st Verify using manometer. If water columns don’t change

**2nd Replace regulator (again rare but could be receiver)

8. Ground Issue, Unit sparks intermittently and beeps

a. Check for loose ground wire (yellow/green wire)

b. Verify Digital fireplace control box, ground wire is grounded

b. Fireplace will beep and then spark and may not light pilot if ground is not connected.

Ground wire needs to be

grounded 3” from box

9. Fireplace or Insert does not spark, & fireplace/insert has no blowers or light

a. Make sure remote is not in thermostat mode (Smart or On)

b. Make sure FCM switch is ON ( -= ON, O= OFF)

c. Check FCM for AC power and check 120v Outlet for AC power (3rd outlet)

d. Check fuse panel for tripped breaker that powers insert/fireplace

e. Run extension cord to unit to see if you can plug in FCM

You should have CPI pilot along with light and blower control in lockout mode, provided remote is in OFF thermostat mode

Refer to page 40 if you do not know how to operate remote

f. Remember there are 2 fuses in FCM

g. Has FCM had the heat shield update kit done?

FV44 or FV33 the FCM will be on the right outside of firebox

Heat Shield kit FV44 & FV33 is HA-58-00358 PF1 units only

(Fv44 s/n 3128 and below only FV33 s/n 1193 and below only)

FV 41 the FCM will have a metal shield and insulation shield

Heat Shield kit FV41 is HA-78-00277 PF1 units only s/n 1277 and below only

Fuse F1=6A 250 volt 6.3 x 32mm (Fast blow fuse)

Fuse F3=5A 250 volt 5 x 20mm (Fast blow fuse)
