If the Heat-N-Glo 6000DVT pilot light stays on but the unit only fires up to the pilot and does not fully ignite, possible causes include:

1. Thermocouple/Thermopile Issues – The thermopile generates the voltage needed to open the main gas valve. If it is weak or faulty, the main burner will not ignite.

2. Dirty or Clogged Burner – Dust, debris, or spider webs can block the burner ports, preventing proper ignition.

3. Faulty Gas Valve – If the gas valve is defective, it may not open to supply gas to the main burner.

4. Control Module or Wiring Issues – Loose, damaged, or disconnected wires can prevent the system from receiving the signal to ignite the main burner.

5. Blocked Vent or Airflow Restriction – If the venting system is blocked, the unit may not allow the main burner to ignite for safety reasons.

6. Pilot Flame Weak or Misaligned – A weak or improperly positioned pilot flame may not heat the thermopile enough to trigger the main burner.

7. Faulty Wall Switch or Remote Control – If the switch, thermostat, or remote control is malfunctioning, the main burner may not receive the signal to turn on.

To troubleshoot, check for debris in the burner, ensure the thermopile voltage is sufficient (typically 300–750 mV), and inspect wiring and gas flow. If issues persist, professional servicing may be needed.
