Tried to turn on the gas fireplace for the first time this season and it wouldn't ignite after about 10 seconds. Did a deep cleaning last year and replaced the ember material. Took the cover off and did a light cleaning and made sure nothing was covering up the holes. Cleaned the tips of the ignition components to remove any soot and checked that the ignitor creates a spark. All OK. Re-lit pilot and started fireplace without any problem. Cleaned the glass cover and put it back on thinking I was good to go. Turned on the fireplace and again it didn't light. Pulled the glass back off and the fireplace lit without a problem...
Anyone have any idea why the fireplace wouldn't be able to light with the glass on? Is it an airflow thing? I'm just confused why that would keep it from lighting and when I put the glass on while it was already lit, the fireplace stayed on without any problem. Searching for information online and everything assumes the fireplace is completely unable to light, which isn't the case since I was able to start it 3 separate times. My fireplace model is a Heat N Glo 7000TR. Any information would be much appreciated!
