I have a wonderfire propane gas stove in our cabin and we close the cabin down for the winter. Can we shut the stove completely down till we reopen the cabin? It is model 2610.

'm sorry, I couldn't find a parts diagram specifically for the Wonderfire 2570 direct vent free standing fireplace. However, safety switches in fireplaces are typically located in the control compartment. The safety switch may be a thermal switch or a microswitch, and its purpose is to shut off the gas valve or blower motor in the event of an overheat condition or other safety issue.
If you suspect that the safety switch needs to be reset, you may want to consult the owner's manual for your fireplace, as it may contain instructions on how to reset the safety switch.

If you dont have gas coming thru while holding down the button, you have one of the following; no gas, main valve off, or a bad gas valve.

Ok, Lets start at the beginning. First make sure there is propane in the tanks! Gas can leak rom these tanks sometimes at a very small rate and over time they can go empty if there is a loose fitting somewhere. When you turn on the stove is there any air or hissing sounds coming from the burners? Air can get in the lines and when you turn the gas on, you get nothing but air for several seconds till the air bleeds out then you get the gas. Hold a lit match next to the burner and watch to see if there is any movement to the flame on the match, movement would let you know if there is any air coming from the burner, hold it there for a few seconds and see if any gas comes thru and this will then lite the burner. I always have to turn my stove on for a while to get gas thru the lines so the appliances work after the tanks have been filled or after it sits for a while. Once you get gas thru to the stove you can try your heater, this may also take sewveral tries till all the air is purged from the lines so don't get frustrated, sometimes this can take a while! Then the next thing is the water heater, the gas valve on these has a selection for pilot lite, turn the red knob so thet the cut out in the knob lines up with the gas valve and you have to push and hold this down for a minut or longer to get gas to the burner. Once the burner lights hold the pilot knob down for another minute to make sure all the air is out of the system. Once these are done you should be good to go till next time your tank runs dry and has to be filled. If you determine there is gas in the tank but it is not flowing to the appliances, double check all the shut off valves. The tank should have a diagram on the valve to let you know which way it turns for on and off. Do you have a built in tank on this model? If you have the two removable tank set up, make sure the auto switching valve is set correctly and you have it on to the tank that is full. If you still aren't getting gas, try calling an RV dealer and ask them if there is another valve somewhere that might need to be turned on. There migt be a shut off in the line somewhere, but this is not common.

I have a Wonderfire gas stove and it's easy to replace the burner plate and gasket. Hardest thing is getting the bolts out. Use a vise grips and you won't strip them. I don't use any adhesive on the gasket just clean everything off and replace.

The bottom part of the stove in the front has a drawer you pull out which has a broiler tray located there. You should be able to fold the door down and use a flash light to look inside . You will find a pilot light set-up there.
The stove I have has the pilot gas on all the time, so as soon as you turn on the gas to the range, the pilot gas is open to atmosphere.
I just light a match and reach in to where the gas piping can be seen and the pilot flame will light.
There is only a small amount of gas coming from the pilot orifice, so there isn't any danger lighting it when the gas is first turned on at the tank.
In fact you may have to wait a few minutes for it to light at first because the propane line maybe full of air. I usually light the top burners of the stove first and by that time the pilot gas for the oven is ok to light.

sounds like you got some debri in the safty valve, teflon tape or pipe dope. they don't come apart so you will probly have to replace it. sorry! disconect lines and blow out good befor replacing it so it don't happen to the new one

The Pressure Regulator may be stuck, Try closing the propane valve releasing the pressure,, gently tap the regulator( on the propane inlet side) and Very Very slowly open the propane tank valve, and attempt to light

Most gas stoves are shipped for natural gas .You need to check the orifice on each burner to see if they are for natural gas or propane.If you ordered propane the stove should have been shipped with the orifices.They may be in a bag with your stove documents.

The gas valve may be failing. The 'whooshing sound' you hear may be the gas valve closing too slowly when the oven cycles off or the cavity is filling with gas and igniting when the oven cycles on. The gas you smell may be an indication that the valve is not closing completely. This can be potentially dangerous if the oven fills with gas then ignites. I would not operate the stove any longer and shut off the gas to the stove.

Make sure the fitting on the tank where your line comes from isn't freezing up. I don't know about large propane tanks but they might have the new safety valve in the shut off valve in your tank as well. Trying shutting off or if you don't feel safe maybe somebody else shut the valve off then reopening it.
