Why won't the pilot light stay lit on my Vermont Castings Radiance RADVTCBSB?

  If the pilot light on your Vermont Castings Gas Heater won't stay lit after following the lighting instructions, it could be due to a defective pilot generator (thermocouple). Ensure the pilot flame properly touches the thermocouple/thermopile. Clean and adjust the pilot for maximum flame impingement on the thermopile and thermocouple. Another cause could be a defective automatic valve. If the millivolt meter reads greater than 10mV when maintaining flow to the pilot, but the pilot still doesn't stay on, the gas valve may need replacement.

How to fix a spark ignitor that won't light on a Vermont Castings Gas Heater?

  If the spark ignitor on your Vermont Castings Gas Heater won't light, 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 have a strong spark. Another potential cause is a defective ignitor (push button). With the control knob in the pilot position, push the control knob all the way and hold. Check for a spark at the electrode and pilot. If there's no spark to the pilot, and the electrode wire is properly connected, replace the battery in the ignitor module and try again. If the problem persists, replace the ignitor module box.

Why does my Vermont Castings Gas Heater have frequent pilot outages?
- R
  Randall AdkinsAug 17, 2025
  Frequent pilot outages in your Vermont Castings Gas Heater could stem from a pilot flame that's either too low or blowing too high, causing the pilot safety to drop out. Adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on the thermopile and thermocouple. Also, a blockage of the vent terminal could be the cause. Inspect the vent terminal for any obstructions that might be recycling the flue gases.

  If your Vermont Castings Gas Heater's spark ignitor 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 try the red button again. If it still doesn't light, check the gap at the electrode and pilot; it should be 1/8 inch for a strong spark. Another potential cause is a defective ignitor (push button). With the control knob in the pilot position, push the control knob all the way and hold. Check for a spark at the electrode and pilot. If there's no spark and the electrode wire is properly connected, replace the battery in the ignitor module and try again. If the problem persists, replace the ignitor module box.
