I have a Skytech 3001 gas fireplace control that suddenly quit. The batteries are good and the receiver beeps in response to the remote. But the receiver won't turn the stove on even using the manual slide switch on the receiver. The wires to the receiver are good. I can't see the wires inside the stove, but there is no reason to think they are a problem. The stove turns on if I turn the stove's control knob to on. The problem is either the receiver, the wires, or whatever the wires connect to inside the stove. And since the stove itself will turn on, I doubt it is something in the stove. My next step is to pull apart the stove to check that the internal wiring is connected, but again I have no reason to think it isn't. That leaves the receiver. It is quite a few years old. Do they just suddenly quit? Any way to test it directly?
