GAS FIRE GOES OFF AFTER 30 MINUTES (OR SO)

[wbmkk]

My gas fire, a Valient readiant type fire lights and throws out plenty of heat, for 30 minutes or so ..

But after that it just goes off by itself.

Is there a blockage somewhere ?

Is it is big job to fix ? I ask this as we were actually considereing getting a new fire anyway in the New Year after we have some other building work done. We have CH anyway.

thanks

Is that a valor radiant type?, even so more info required....it may be that it is fitted with a safety device which cuts the fire off if carbon monoxide begins to build up in the room. What ever it is I wouldn't be using it until it is properly checked out.

Has it been serviced this century?

You are making us think about those cases where whole families are found dead from gas fire fumes.

Thanks for your replies.

We actually had one of those CO patches on the wall and it was always OK. Anyway, I've already contacted a CORGI guy to come and have a look at it.

If it's worth fixing, we'll do so

If not, we'll just get the new inset fire fitted instead
