Why does my Vermont Castings LHER20 have frequent pilot outage problems?
- B
  Blake HarrisonAug 16, 2025
  Frequent pilot outages in your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace can occur for several reasons: * The pilot flame may be too low or blowing, causing the pilot safety to drop out. Clean and/or adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on the thermopile and thermocouple. * There may be a possible blockage of the vent terminal. Check the vent terminal for any obstructions that could be recycling the flue gases.

What to do if pilot will not stay lit on my Vermont Castings LHER20?

  If the pilot light won't stay lit on your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace after following the lighting instructions, here's what you can check: * Check the pilot flame to ensure it impinges on the thermocouple/thermopile. This pilot burner assembly uses both a thermocouple and a thermopile. Clean and/or adjust the pilot for maximum flame impingement on the thermopile and thermocouple. * Turn the valve knob to 'Pilot' and maintain flow to the pilot. A millivolt meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas valve. Note: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be used to conduct this test.

How to fix a Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace spark ignitor that will not light?

  Jimmy KramerAug 25, 2025
  If the spark ignitor on your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace isn't lighting, here are a couple of things to check: * Light the pilot using a match. If it lights, turn off the pilot and push the red button again. If the pilot still won't light, check the gap at the electrode and pilot. There should be a 1/8" gap to ensure a strong spark. * Push the Piezo Ignitor Button and check for a spark at the electrode and pilot. If there's no spark and the electrode wire is properly connected, you may need to replace the ignitor.

  Frequent pilot outages in your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace can occur because the pilot flame may be too low or too high, causing the pilot safety to drop out. To resolve this, clean and/or adjust the pilot flame to ensure maximum flame impingement on both the thermopile and thermocouple. Another potential cause is a blockage of the vent terminal, which can recycle flue gases. Inspect the vent terminal for any obstructions.

  If the pilot light won't stay lit in your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace after following the lighting instructions, the issue might be a defective pilot generator (thermocouple) or a problem with the remote wall switch. Ensure the pilot flame impinges properly on the thermocouple/thermopile. This pilot burner assembly uses both a thermocouple and a thermopile. Clean and/or adjust the pilot for maximum flame impingement on the thermopile and thermocouple. Another potential cause is a defective automatic valve. Turn the valve knob to “Pilot” and maintain flow to the pilot; a milivolt meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is okay and the pilot still doesn’t stay on, replace the gas valve.

How to fix spark ignitor that will not light on Vermont Castings LHER20 Indoor Fireplace?

  If the spark ignitor on your Vermont Castings Indoor Fireplace isn't lighting, it could be due to a defective or misaligned electrode at the pilot. Try lighting the pilot with a match. If it lights, turn off the pilot and push the red button again. If the pilot still won't light, check the gap at the electrode and pilot; it should be 1/8" to ensure a strong spark. Another cause could be a defective ignitor (push button). Push the Piezo Ignitor Button and check for a spark at the electrode and pilot. If there's no spark and the electrode wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor.
