Fireplace repair

[interlude]

Hey All,

Do you guys/gals have any good recommendations on fireplace repair? I have a gas fireplace in my townhouse, and will not turn on when I hit the switch. I can see a small flame inside the fireplace, but nothing happens.

Is there anything I can check myself?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

replace the switch, 9 times out of 10 the wrong type of switch was used when the fireplace was installed and they fail.. replace it with a "spec grade" switch
