From what you're describing, either the Thermocouple needs cleaning or it needs replacing, However, these are not easy units to work on for a Do it your-selfer. so I would recommend taking it in to a pro who can get the part if necessary and replace it if necessary. Most independent hearth stores that sell and service gas logs and gas fireplaces can help you.
The 23300 unit is the easiest unit out there to work on. If you order the pilot assy for this unit it comes with not only the pilot but the thermocouple, tip switch, pilot orifice and electrode. A bit pricey but it comes complete and can be installed with a phillips screw driver, 8mm,10mm and 12mm open end wrench. It only takes about 1 1/2 beers to do if you get my drift LOL. We are always happy to walk you through the process. 909-982-3011 markThe 23300 unit is the easiest unit out there to work on.
