What to do if I smell gas even when my Duluth Forge FDF300R is off?
If you notice a gas odor from your Duluth Forge Indoor Fireplace even when the control knob is in the OFF position, it could be due to a gas leak. You should locate and correct all leaks. Alternatively, the control valve might be defective, and you should contact customer service.
Why does the pilot light go out when I release the control knob on my Duluth Forge FDF300R?
If the ODS/pilot lights but the flame goes out when you release the control knob on your Duluth Forge Indoor Fireplace, make sure the control knob is fully pressed in and held for at least 30 seconds after the pilot lights.

If you press the ignitor button and there is a spark at the ODS/pilot but no pilot flame on your Duluth Forge Indoor Fireplace, first check if the gas supply is turned off or the equipment shutoff valve is closed; if so, turn on the gas supply or open the valve. Ensure the control knob is fully pressed in while pressing the ignitor button. If there is air in the gas lines (especially after a new installation or recent gas interruption), continue holding down the control knob and repeat the igniting operation until the air is removed. The ODS/pilot may be clogged, so clean or replace the assembly. Incorrect inlet gas pressure or a damaged inlet regulator can also cause this, so check the pressure or replace the regulator. Verify the control knob is in the PILOT position. Finally, if you're ...
How to fix no spark at pilot light on Duluth Forge Indoor Fireplace?
If there is no spark at the ODS/pilot when the ignitor button is pressed on your Duluth Forge Indoor Fireplace, the ignitor electrode may be positioned incorrectly or broken, requiring replacement. Alternatively, the ignitor electrode might not be connected to the ignitor cable, in which case you should replace the ignitor cable. The ignitor cable could also be pinched or wet; free it if pinched, and keep it dry. If the ignitor cable is broken, replace it. A bad piezo ignitor or a low battery could also be the cause, requiring replacement of the piezo ignitor or the battery.
