    Why do fumes enter the room when my Magiglo Indoor Fireplace is on?

      Hailey SmithJul 31, 2025
      If fumes enter the room when your Magiglo Indoor Fireplace is in operation, it could be due to a blocked flue. Remove the blockage in the flue to resolve this issue. Alternatively, there might be insufficient replacement air. Ensure that air vents are free of obstructions.

    What to do if the pilot light goes out when I release the control on my Magiglo Indoor Fireplace?
    • L
      Lisa BaxterAug 4, 2025
      If the pilot light on your Magiglo Indoor Fireplace lights but goes out when the control is released, there are a couple of potential causes. First, check for a loose thermocouple connection at the control valve end. Remake the thermocouple, ensuring the connection is firm. If the problem persists, the thermocouple itself may be faulty, and you should replace the complete pilot assembly.

      Susan AndersonAug 8, 2025
      If no spark appears at the electrode of your Magiglo Indoor Fireplace, it could be due to several reasons. The electrode might be cracked or broken, in which case you should replace the pilot assembly. Another possibility is that the HT lead is shorting out on the burner body. Establish where the spark is occurring and insulate or re-route the lead accordingly. Lastly, the spark generator might be faulty, requiring you to replace the valve.

    Why do the pilot and main burner go out when I set my Magiglo Elite ME16T Indoor Fireplace to high?
    • A
      Adam Howard MDAug 13, 2025
      If the pilot and main burner of your Magiglo Indoor Fireplace go out when the control is set to the high position, here's what might be happening: * The gas supply could be partially blocked. Locate the restriction and remove the faulty section. * There might be too many bends on the gas inlet pipe. Increase the diameter and/or reduce the number of bends. * The pilot jet could be partially blocked. Replace the complete pilot assembly. * There may be a restriction at the isolation valve. Ensure the valve is fully open and that the internal diameter is sufficient and free from grease.

    What to do if the piezo works, but the pilot light won't light on my Magiglo Elite ME16T Indoor Fireplace?
    • J
      John WhitakerAug 17, 2025
      If the piezo operates normally but the pilot light won't ignite on your Magiglo Indoor Fireplace, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, check that there is a gas supply by checking the isolation valve/supply. If gas supply isn't the issue, the pilot jet may be blocked, in which case you should replace the pilot assembly.

    Why does my Magiglo Elite ME16T only burn on one side?
    • A
      Austin BrooksAug 21, 2025
      If your Magiglo Indoor Fireplace burns with flames only on one side, it could be due to the imitation fuel layout being incorrect. Re-lay the imitation fuel in accordance with the instructions. Alternatively, there might be excessive draught. Establish the cause and rectify it.
