it needs a service by a qualified gas (corgi registered) repair person...it is illegal to fix gas appliances..unless qualified....ie if yours exploded..and you had d.i.y.d it you could go to prison if people are hurt or killed....use a qualified corgi person...and you can ring corgi to find out if there is one near you..

You didn't say whether or not the pilot light also was not lighting. On many of these modern sets of gas logs, there will be a safety switch that sniffs the air's carbon monoxide level. It cuts off the supply of gas, if the CO level in your air is anything but infinitesimal. An cheap carbon monoxide detector can give you a "second opinion" as to the health of the air in your house. Or else, open a window and set a fan on for a few minutes in there, and try lighting it again. Will your set of gas logs light with a breeze of fresh air blowing? The CO might have been it! Better to find this out now than getting sick later. CO can kill in high enough doses. It'll cause flu-like symptoms. CO results from some incomplete combustion somewhere; running a car in a closed garage for even a few seconds, a poorly-functioning gas stove, or if you're burning candles.

The spark generator is probably u/s by the sounds of it. Best get a reputable Corgi registered engineer to fit a new one and service the fire while he's at it.
Your local paper or council can give you details of honest tradesmen/women or try Yellow Pages.

You didn't provide us with enough info, Debby. Is it a cooking range, gas furnace, or a fireplace gas log that you are talking about? If you are referring to your furnace, does it have a standing pilot, hot surface ignitor, or an intermittent electronic ignition? Forget it, Debby......why don't you just cave in and call a service person - it would be much safer for all concerned.

the electric spark isn't touching the conductor or its fuc**d completely.... to get it to light all you have to do is turn it off completely for 10 minutes (so there is no gas inside anywhere ) then turn it on and put a match or lighter where the ignition spark thing is and lift off Huston we have ignition...... (or wait in the freeeeeezzzzing cold for a repair man for 3 weeks)

Maybe the ignition needs a new battery?

Try blowing the dust out of the gas hole for the pilot light(especily if the pilot has a tinge of yellow or orange to it).It must be solid blue.

seems like the thermal coupling needs to be replaced or the gas valve needs replacing get a corgi registered engineer to fix if you are in uk
