  If the pilot is burning but no gas is going to the main burner on your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, even with the gas knob on ‘HI’ and the wall switch/thermostat on, you should first purge the gas line. Check if you're out of propane. If not, turn up the pilot flame, and check the thermocouple for shorts or faults by loosening and tightening it, cleaning the connection to the valve. If problems persist, replace the thermocouple or valve. Test the thermostat/switch by using a jumper wire across the terminals. Check the wall switch wiring for defects. Clear any blockage in the main burner orifice. Replace the valve if faulty. Ensure the gas piping isn't undersized by observing the pilot flame when other appliances ignite.

  If the pilot light is on but the burner won't turn on in your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, inspect all wires to ensure they have good, tight connections and are installed exactly as specified.

Why does the main burner go out but pilot stays on in Napoleon Indoor Fireplace?
- B
  Brad AndersonAug 27, 2025
  If the main burner goes out but the pilot stays on in your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, first, try turning up the pilot flame, as it might not be large enough or engulfing the thermopile. If that doesn't work, consider replacing the pilot assembly. Also, check the thermopile connection to the valve, clean it, and reconnect it. If the problem persists, the thermopile or valve may need replacement.

How to fix a Napoleon Ascent X 36 when the pilot will not light?
- M
  Michael NunezAug 27, 2025
  If the pilot light will not light on your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, verify the sensor and ignitor wires are correctly connected to the module, ensuring they are not reversed. Check for any loose connections, electrical shorts, or grounding to metal objects. If these steps don't resolve the issue, turn the ON/OFF switch to “OFF,” remove the igniter wire, and test the ignitor terminal for a spark. Also, ensure the spark gap is 1/8” (3.2mm) and that the transformer is correctly installed and providing between 6.2 and 7.0 volts A.C. If power is off, check the batteries. Remove and reinstall the wiring harness, troubleshoot with a simple ON/OFF switch, and ensure the valve and pilot assemblies are properly grounded.

What causes white or grey film to form on my Napoleon Ascent X 36?
- A
  Anthony CarpenterSep 4, 2025
  If a white or grey film forms on your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, it's likely sulphur from the fuel being deposited on the glass, logs, or combustion chamber surfaces. Clean the glass regularly, referring to the 'CARE OF GLASS' section, and remember not to clean the glass when it's hot, as deposits may permanently mark the glass if not cleaned off regularly.
