Why won't the pilot light stay lit on my Vermont Castings LHECDV30 Indoor Fireplace?

If the pilot light on your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace won't stay lit after you've followed the lighting instructions, there could be a few reasons. One possibility is a defective pilot generator (thermocouple) or remote wall switch. Make sure the pilot flame is properly hitting the thermocouple/thermopile. Try cleaning or adjusting the pilot for the best flame impingement on both the thermopile and thermocouple. Another cause could be a defective automatic valve. In this case, turn the valve knob to 'Pilot' and check that the milivolt meter reads above 10 mV while maintaining flow to the pilot. If the reading is good but the pilot still won't stay on, the gas valve may need to be replaced. Note: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be used to conduct this test.
