What to do if the Cedar Ridge Indoor Fireplace pilot lights but flame goes out?

  Julia DuncanAug 17, 2025
  If the pilot light on your Cedar Ridge Indoor Fireplace lights but the flame goes out when you release the control knob, several factors could be responsible: * Ensure the control knob is fully pressed in. * After the pilot lights, keep the control knob pressed in for 30 seconds. * Make sure the equipment shutoff valve is fully open. * Check that the thermocouple connection is snug at the control valve, hand-tightening it and then giving it an additional 1/4 turn. * If the pilot flame isn't touching the thermocouple, allowing it to cool, causing the pilot flame to extinguish, contact your local gas company or clean/replace the ODS/pilot assembly. * The thermocouple or control valve might be damaged and require replacement.

  If the burner on your Cedar Ridge Indoor Fireplace doesn't light after the pilot is lit, it could be due to a clogged burner orifice, which you should clean or replace. It's also possible that the burner orifice diameter is too small, requiring a replacement. Finally, low inlet gas pressure could be the cause, in which case you should contact your local gas supplier.

  If your Cedar Ridge Indoor Fireplace produces unwanted odors, it might be burning vapors from paint, hair spray, glues, etc. Open a window to ventilate the room and avoid using odor-causing products while the heater is running. A gas leak could also be the cause, so locate and correct any leaks. In propane/LP models, a low fuel supply can also cause odors; refill the supply tank.

Why does my Cedar Ridge Indoor Fireplace produce a whistling noise when the burner is lit?
- A
  Adam ColeSep 12, 2025
  If your Cedar Ridge Indoor Fireplace produces a whistling noise when the burner is lit, it might be due to turning the control knob to the high position when the burner is cold; turn the control knob to the low position and let it warm up for a minute. Air in the gas line could also be the cause; operate the burner until the air is removed, and have the gas line checked by your local gas supplier. Blocked air passageways or a dirty burner orifice could also cause this issue; ensure minimum installation clearances and clean or replace the burner orifice.
