Why does my Monessen Hearth EYF18-R shut off during use?
- TThomas ShortAug 11, 2025
Your Monessen Hearth Heater might shut off during use due to several reasons: not enough fresh air for the ODS/pilot to operate, so open a window or door for ventilation; low line pressure, in which case you should contact your local gas company; a partially clogged ODS/pilot, requiring cleaning; a defective thermopile, inspect wire connections and ensure the output is 500 mV across TH/TP and TP terminals with the ON/OFF switches off; or restrictions in incoming airflow, so check for a bottom riser on the glass door, a sunken fireplace, or excessive lava rock/cinders densely packed against the grate.
