It has a new battery which I checked with volt meter and the red indicator lights when button is pressed. The receiver is plugged in inside the fireplace and has 110 volts at receiver. The receiver makes its normal "click" sound when the remote button is pressed. The receiver is a Heat N Glo RCH-09a . It appears to me (just the homeowner...not a tech ) that it may be a connection from the receiver to the "manual" switch. There are 4 wires there. Two wires from the receiver to the switch and the two wires to the valve controls. Do the receivers have anything inside I need to check? Any ideas?
