iFlame Uni-Flame Fireplace Remote Kit

It sounds like the iFlame remote receiver may not be consistently receiving the signal to ignite the fireplace, even though the remote appears to be sending a signal (indicated by the red flicker). Since the issue arose suddenly and the remote seems to be functioning, it's less likely to be dead batteries. However, it's possible the batteries have just enough power to create the flicker but not enough to send a full communication signal, so we do recommend trying new batteries first. Here are a few other troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. **Check the Receiver Box:** The receiver box, typically located in the firebox, might have a loose connection or a fault. It may also require new batteries. Sometimes, gently tapping on the receiver box can reseat connections. If you are comfortable doing so, you can also check for any obvious loose wires connected to the receiver (ensure the fireplace is turned off and power is disconnected before doing this). 2. **Thermostat/Pilot Light Issue:** If your fireplace has a standing pilot light, ensure it is lit and strong. If it's an IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) system, the igniter might be faulty or misaligned, preventing ignition even when the signal is received. The red flicker could indicate the system is attempting to spark but not successfully igniting the gas. 3. **Receiver Reset/Pairing:** Some remote systems have a "learn" or reset function. Consult your iFlame Uni-Flame manual to see if there's a procedure to re-pair the remote to the receiver. This can sometimes resolve communication glitches. As noted in [ID:148666], the learn button is typically on the face of the receiver box above the switch. 4. **Interference:** While less common, other electronic devices could potentially cause interference. Try to temporarily move any other wireless devices away from the fireplace area. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might indicate a problem with the receiver itself or the gas valve/ignition components of the fireplace. In such cases, you may need to contact a qualified gas fireplace technician.

No, it will not.
