Hi all. I've got my pilot to light no problem. Then I turn gas knob to "on" as per instructions. I "adjust" switch on thermostat on wall only to hear clicking noise coming from inside panel of fireplace but the main burner doesn't light (like it used to last winter). I believe it's the main valve making clicking noise but not sure. Any ideas on what to check?
I have a multimeter and took these readings at the thermostat:
1) switch turned off = .370 Volts DC
2) switch turned on = .016 Volts DC (and clicking noise of what I believe is valve firing).
Also took these readings under panel:
1) with thermostat off : TP/TH to TH terminal = 0.386 Volts DC
2) with thermostat on: TP/TH to TH terminal = 0.034 Volts
3) with thermostat on: TP/TH to TP terminal = 0.199 volts
One other note; when I turn on thermostat, the blue pilot flame does extend a little to the right and left. But definitely doesn't turn on to make any noticeable heat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
