# Fire Magic gas flow indicator: red means gas is flowing

Fire Magic fits a flow indicator to its knobs so you can see which valves are open.

## What Gas flow indicator red actually means.

Fire Magic fits a flow indicator to its knobs so you can see which valves are open. Blue is off; red means that burner valve is passing gas. It is a quick way to confirm every knob is really off after cooking.

What to do when Gas flow indicator red shows on the grill

### Kind of code Flame and gas flow

The control lost its flame or never found enough gas to hold one. The common reasons are plain: a propane regulator that dropped into its low-flow safety mode because the tank valve was opened with a knob on, a tank running empty, wind across an open burner, or a flame sensor coated in grease. Knobs off, the tank closed and reopened slowly, then a relight usually settles the first; if you smell gas, walk away first, and the valve, the sensor and every fitting stay with a technician.

### Usually leads to Grill valve and regulator repair

Stiff, leaking or unshuttable grill valves, worn knobs, tired regulators and cracked hoses replaced, with gas orifices matched to propane or natural gas.

### Shows up as Grill Error Code on a Pellet Controller or Digital Panel

A grill error code shows as letters and numbers on a pellet grill controller, a flashing light on a digital control panel, or an alert in the maker's app paired with the grill.

### Make Fire Magic

Fire Magic owners usually describe a burner that lights late or not at all; our visit starts by timing that delay at each knob.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fire Magic's own guidance for Gas flow indicator red on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

After cooking, check that every indicator has gone back to blue.

02

If one stays red with its knob turned off, close the gas at the tank or the shutoff and leave it closed.

03

Book a visit for any indicator that shows red with the knob off, because the valve may not be closing.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [grill valve and regulator repair](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/services/grill-valve-and-regulator-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

Red on a knob that is turned on is normal and does not mean a leak. A gas smell is a separate warning that needs the gas closed and the area cleared.

## Questions about Gas flow indicator red.

### Can I clear Gas flow indicator red myself?

After cooking, check that every indicator has gone back to blue. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why is one Fire Magic knob showing red after I turned it off?

Either the knob is not fully at OFF or the valve is not closing. Close the gas at the tank or shutoff and have the valve checked before using the grill.

### Do all Fire Magic grills have the red and blue indicator?

The Echelon Diamond and Aurora manuals both describe it. Check your own manual or the knob faces if your model is older.

### Does the red indicator on a Fire Magic mean the burner is lit?

It means gas is flowing to that burner. A burner that did not light can still show red, which is why Fire Magic says to turn it off and wait five minutes after a failed lighting.
