Majestic Fireplace Inserts

The VWF30NVC is a 30-inch vented natural gas burner assembly with an on/off control valve, rated at 80,000 BTU. It functions as a vented gas log burner system rather than a complete fireplace. This valve style operates on a standing pilot: the pilot flame heats a thermocouple, which holds open the safety magnet in the valve. It also uses a thermopile to generate the millivoltage needed for the main burner circuit to open. To help diagnose the issue, please reply with what happens when you attempt to light each unit: Does the pilot light and stay lit? Does the pilot light and then extinguish when you release the knob? Or does the pilot not light at all? In the meantime, here are some safe checks you can perform on both units: * **Confirm the manual gas shutoff valve feeding each burner is fully open.** If a unit has been out of service for a while, air in the gas line may need to be purged. To do this, hold the control knob in the 'PILOT' position for 30 to 60 seconds before the pilot flame should catch. * **If the pilot lights but goes out when you release the knob:** Clean the thermocouple tip with emery cloth or 1000-grit sandpaper. Then, loosen, clean, and re-secure the thermocouple lead connection at the gas valve. Voltage drop at this connection is a common cause for a pilot that won't stay lit. * **If the pilot stays lit but the main burner does not ignite when turning the knob to 'ON':** This suggests an issue with the thermopile's output. Clean the thermopile tip and its terminal connections at the valve in the same manner. If either unit is connected to a wall switch or remote receiver, test the burner with that circuit disconnected to rule out a faulty switch or remote. For a step-by-step guide on cleaning, please refer to our Tips For Gas Fireplace Maintenance article. The Gas Logs Buyers Guide further explains the intended operation of different pilot and valve types. Any troubleshooting beyond cleaning and reseating connections should be performed by a qualified gas professional. Since both units are exhibiting the same problem, it is also advisable to check the incoming gas supply pressure, which can only be measured by a technician. You can find an NFI certified professional in your area at https://www.nficertified.org/public/. If a technician determines that a pilot assembly or control valve has failed, please reply with the part number they identify, and we will check for the availability of the OEM component for you.

There will be no exact replacement for your model. The best we could offer would be based on the available space you have after the Majestic model is removed.
