Why won't the spark ignitor light the pilot on my Vermont Castings 36CFDV Indoor Fireplace?

If the spark ignitor on your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace won't light the pilot after repeatedly triggering the piezo, there are several potential causes. A wire might be disconnected; open the door and check to ensure the wire is connected to the ignitor. The ignitor itself could be defective; check for a spark at the electrode and pilot. If there's no spark and the electrode wire is properly connected, replace the pilot assembly. There might be no gas or low gas pressure; check the remote/manual shut-off valve. Low pressure can result from bent or restricted lines, or low pressure line pressure, so consult with a plumber or gas supplier. Finally, if you're using Propane/LPG, the tank might be empty; check and refill the tank if necessary.
