Broken gas fire control knob

Seems the problem is with valve and it needs adjustments.

Be sure that after lighting the Pilot, that you turn the gas control knob to ON. Just lighting the pilot will not turn the burners ON. Once the control knob is turned to ON, you can turn the burners ON.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

This would need greasing the controls dry out and you get brass on brass take the control knob off there are two screws you can remove and take the plug out and grease it with black control grease . then replace this should then work .

You have 3 cables entering the box.
Each cable has black and white and ground wire.
You have a single pole switch.
The switch has 2 brass-colored screws and 1 green-colored screw.

1) One thing is certain: all the ground wires connect together and then connect to green screw on switch.

2) After that, we are guessing without more information.
Add a comment.

3) What does the switch control?

4) If the switch controls a hallway light, and there is another switch for the same light: then you have wrong switch. You need 3-way switch. Buy 3-way switch and re-post question at fixya.

5) If switch controls a bath fan-light combo, repost question at fixya.

6) If the switch controls a regular light, and no other switch is involved: then the following information might work. Or you need to do testing and re-post another question at fixya.

-White wires probably connect together and are covered with a wire nut.

-Then two black wires connect to one brass screw and 1 black wire connects to other brass screw.

-But which black wire?

-Only one of the black wires has power from circuit breaker. That is hot wire.
-Hot wire connects to 1st brass screw on switch. Either screw.

-And then connect one of the other black wires to 2nd brass screw. Turn on power and see if light turns on.
-Try other black wire same way.
-The black wire(s) that turn on lights on should be left connected to 2nd brass screw.
-If one black wire did not turn on lights, then that wire probably connects to 1st brass screw along with hot wire.

Hi,
White wires under the silver screw...
The black wire under the black screw...
and the red wire under the brass screw...

If it does not work right then switch the red and black wires...

If you can tell me, The reds are to a light or something right? and are they tied together in a wire nut with a black wire or are there two blacks together and two reds together? If so then you can wire it that way and break the brass crossover but if they are two reds and two seperate blacks then you could have an issue. Let me know further, thanks.

If I understand correctly, you have an outlet for your iron.
You have 60 minute timer with two black wires.
You want to connect 60 minute countdown timer to prevent iron from being left ON.
Good idea, and perfect application for this timer.

Your outlet has two insulated wires, one black wire that is connected to brass screw and one white wire that is connected to silver screw.
If you have 2 blacks and 2 whites, that is also covered below.

Here's is how to wire timer to outlet.
1) One black and one white:
Remove black wire from brass screw.
Connect this wire to either wire on timer.
Connect other timer wire to brass screw on outlet.

2) Two black wire and two white wires.
The easiest way to proceed is try one black outlet wire and if it doesn't work then try the other black outlet wire:
Remove one of the black outlet wires from brass screw.
Connect this wire to either wire on timer.
Connect other timer wire to brass screw on outlet.
If timer works to control outlet, then wiring is correct.
If timer does not control outlet, then try the other black outlet wire.

For what you want to do, the side of the device that has the two brass screws tied together with a metal break off tab is _not_ used, and do not break off the tab ("tie") On the other side of the device, connect the white (neutral) wire to the silver screw and the black hot wire to the brass screw that is just above the silver screw on that same side.

Let's begin with the brass

plug with a little nylon pin

sticking out of it (see the

conversion kit picture above).

That white nylon pin is called

the blocking pin. Unscrew the

plug on the valve, called a

leak limiter, and replace it

with the new one that has the

blocking pin. This changes the

gas regulator pressure setting

for propane.Next, change the

orifice metering plug in the

burner. This controls the

amount of gas that enters the

combustion area.

One point of technique here.

Both the metering orifice and

the blocking pin plug are made

of brass and going into a

steel valve body. Brass is

softer than steel and will

make a gas-tight seal without

having to use gorilla force.

When you screw these brass

fittings in, don’t go nuclear,

just snug ‘em down.
