      If your pleasant hearth Wood stove heater shuts off while in use, it might not be getting enough fresh air. Try opening a window or door for ventilation. It could also be due to low line pressure, in which case you should contact your local gas supplier. Another possibility is that the ODS/pilot is partially clogged; consider cleaning it.

      Robin RodriguezAug 23, 2025
      If there's no spark at the ODS/pilot when you press the ignitor button on your pleasant hearth Wood stove, several things could be wrong. The ignitor electrode might be positioned incorrectly or broken, in which case you should replace the electrode. The ignitor electrode might not be connected to the ignitor cable, or the cable could be pinched, wet, or damaged; consider replacing the ignitor cable, freeing it from any obstructions, and keeping it dry. Also, the piezo ignitor could be bad, requiring replacement. Finally, check the battery and replace it if needed.

      If your pleasant hearth Wood stove heater is producing unwanted odors, it could be burning vapors from paint, hair spray, or glues. Ventilate the room and stop using odor-causing products while the heater is running. Another cause could be a gas leak, so locate and correct any leaks. Low fuel supply can also cause this issue, so refill the supply tank if you have a propane/LP model.

    Why does the ODS/pilot light but the flame goes out when I release the control knob on my pleasant hearth Wood stove?
    • T
      Timothy MeltonAug 28, 2025
      If the ODS/pilot lights but the flame goes out when you release the control knob on your pleasant hearth Wood stove, make sure the control knob is fully pressed in and held for at least 30 seconds after the ODS/pilot lights. Also, ensure the equipment shutoff valve is fully open. The thermocouple connection may be loose, so hand tighten it until snug, then tighten an additional ¼ turn. If the issue persists, the thermocouple may be damaged and need replacing.

    Why is there a spark at ODS/ pilot but no ignition when I press the ignitor button on my pleasant hearth VFS-PH30DT Wood stove?
    • B
      Brandon WhiteSep 12, 2025
      If there's a spark at the ODS/pilot but no ignition when you press the ignitor button on your pleasant hearth Wood stove, first, ensure the gas supply is turned on and the equipment shutoff valve is open. Make sure the control knob is fully pressed in while pressing the ignitor button and that it's in the PILOT position. If the unit was just installed, there may be air in the gas lines; continue holding down the control knob and repeat the igniting operation until the air is removed. Also, the gas regulator setting may not be correct, in that case replace the gas regulator.
