Customer's Fault Description
At the end of last winter I noted that the pilot light on the fire was not switching off as it should do. Not wanting to have the pilot light burning all summer, I switched off the gas supply. I have now switched on the gas supply but the pilot light will not ignite when I operate the controller. I have tried re-setting but to no avail, it makes all the noises but nothing happens.
This fireplace control and receiver arrived safely and on testing, the remote itself was working as normal.
Unfortunately the IR sensor was not included which meant a inspection visibly was needed to be carried out on the receiver.
On opening there were a few issues noticed. The first was that the was quite a large amount of contamination on the PCB (See images), the other issue was that the screw connectors were badly rusted.
The board was cleaned up and a voltage regulator resoldered. The terminal screws were also replaced.
As this item cannot be tested full the customer must test it in situe.
