    What to do if I smell exhaust fumes from my Napoleon Indoor Fireplace?
    • S
      Sandra WilsonAug 13, 2025
      If you smell exhaust fumes and experience headaches when using your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, it indicates that the appliance is spilling. Ensure the exhaust bracket gasket seal is intact. Also check the door seal, relief flap seal, chimney for blockage, and that the chimney is installed according to the building code. The room may be experiencing negative pressure, so increasing the fresh air supply could help. Finally, inspect the cap gasket on the flue pipe assembly.

    Why are the flames so aggressive in my Napoleon BGD34-1NT?
    • N
      nrussellAug 21, 2025
      If the flames of your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace are too aggressive, it might be because the door isn't sealed properly or the venting action is too strong. Make sure the door is tightly sealed. Check the venting to ensure it is properly sealed as well.

    Why does the main burner go out on my Napoleon BGD34-1NT Indoor Fireplace but the pilot stays on?
    • C
      christopheredwardsAug 26, 2025
      If the main burner of your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace goes out but the pilot stays on, it could be due to a few reasons. The pilot flame might not be large enough or not engulfing the thermopile, so try turning up the pilot flame. Alternatively, the thermopile might be shorting, in which case you should clean the thermopile connection to the valve and reconnect it. If the problem persists, consider replacing the pilot assembly or the thermopile/valve.

    Why are the flames on my Napoleon BGD34-1NT too large or too small?
    • C
      cardenaschelseaAug 28, 2025
      If the flames on your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace are consistently too large or too small, it indicates that the unit is either over-fired or under-fired. To resolve this, check the pressure readings.

    What to do if my Napoleon Indoor Fireplace turns on when the remote is off?
    • J
      Janet FisherSep 1, 2025
      If the remote wall switch is in the 'OFF' position but the main burner comes on when the gas knob is turned to the ‘ON’ position on your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, the wall switch may be mounted upside down; if so, reverse it. The remote wall switch or its wire may also be grounding; in this case, replace the switch or check the wire for a ground (short), repair the ground, or replace the wire. If none of these steps work, replace the switch.

    What causes white film on the glass of my Napoleon Indoor Fireplace and how do I remove it?
    • C
      Christian MaddenSep 8, 2025
      If a white or grey film forms on the glass, logs, or combustion chamber surfaces of your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, it's likely due to sulphur from the fuel. Clean the glass with a recommended gas appliance glass cleaner.

    Why is carbon depositing on the glass of my Napoleon Indoor Fireplace?
    • M
      Mark SantiagoNov 16, 2025
      If carbon is being deposited on the glass, logs, or combustion chamber surfaces of your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the air shutter is blocked by lint or other obstructions and ensure it's free. Verify that the flame isn't directly hitting the logs or combustion chamber; if so, reposition the logs correctly. You can also try opening the air shutter to increase the primary air. Make sure to check the input rate by verifying the manifold pressure and orifice size against the values on the rating plate. Inspect the door gasketing to ensure it's not broken or missing and that the seal is tight. Confirm that both vent liners are free of holes and well-sealed at all joints, and that the minimum rise per foot has been adhered to for any horizonta...
