Nothing at all when you switch it on

A unit that shows no lights and makes no sound may not be broken. The supply comes first: the outlet, the breaker, the cord and plug, and the main power switch that many units hide on the side or behind a panel. Units plugged into a switched outlet are a classic case, since the wall switch looks like a light switch.

We check those before opening the unit, because a tripped breaker or a switched-off wall outlet is a quick fix. If power reaches the unit and nothing happens, the board and fuses inside are next.

How the thermostat should behave

The thermostat switches the heater on when the room drops below the setting and off when it reaches it. A healthy unit cycles gently. One that never switches off, or that clicks on and off constantly, has a thermostat or sensor problem.

We check the setting first, then the sensor, which in many units sits near the air intake. A sensor sitting where the heater's own warm air washes over it can shut the heat off early. A faulty thermostat or sensor is replaced by part number, and the cycling is watched afterward to confirm it holds the set temperature. Where the unit is mounted in a warm alcove, we explain how that affects the thermostat's reading.

A load problem or a fault

A breaker that trips when the heater starts is either carrying too much or seeing a fault. If the circuit also feeds a space heater, a television and lamps, the fireplace may simply push it over its limit.

We check what shares the circuit, then test the unit alone. A unit that trips an otherwise empty circuit has a fault, often in the element or its wiring, and that is repaired. Where the circuit is simply overloaded, Dimplex suggests a dedicated breaker, which an electrician adds as a separate item. We also check the breaker itself, since a worn breaker can trip below its rating.

Loose connectors inside the unit

Inside an electric fireplace, wiring harnesses connect the board to the heater, fan, motor and lights through plug-in connectors. Heat cycles, vibration from the fan and moving the unit can work a connector loose.

A loose connector can make a part appear dead when it is not. So before replacing any part, we check its connector for a firm fit and signs of heat. Reseating a connector is a quick fix. A connector that shows scorching is replaced along with anything it damaged. Connectors are pushed home until they click and checked with a gentle tug.

Before a part is ordered

Why does my unit heat for a while and then stop?

Often the thermal cutoff is doing its job because the unit is running too hot inside, from a blocked intake, packed dust or crowded trim. We reset it, find the cause and fix that.

Is it worth fixing, or should I buy a new one?

One failed part that is still made is usually worth replacing. If several parts have failed or parts are gone, we compare the repair with a new unit in writing so you can decide.
