Heat works, flames are dark
When the heater warms the room but the flame picture has gone dark, the light source is the first suspect. Units with small bulbs can lose them one by one without anyone noticing, until the last one goes and the display turns black. Some models also light the ember bed separately, which helps tell a bulb fault from a board fault.
LED units have light assemblies instead, and makers replace those as a whole rather than repairing them. We find out which kind yours has, test it and order the part by your serial number.

Testing the heater element
The heater element is a resistance wire or ceramic part that warms as current passes through it. When it breaks, current stops, and the fan blows cold air. A meter across the element's terminals shows whether it is intact.
An element that reads open is swapped for the part listed against your serial number. Before fitting the new one, we check what may have caused the failure: a fan that was not moving enough air, or dust packed around the element. Replacing the element without fixing the cause invites a second failure. The replacement element is tested under power before the unit is closed up.
Fan motors, bearings and noise
The fan moves room air across the element and back out into the room. As its bearings wear, it slows, grinds or whines, and a slower fan lets the element run hotter, which can trip the cutoff.
We spin the fan by hand with the power off to feel for roughness, then run it to listen. Dust on the blades is cleaned off, since it throws them out of balance. A worn motor is replaced as a unit with the maker's part. The fan is then run long enough to confirm the noise has gone and the airflow is back. A fan that starts slowly on a cold day and then speeds up is also a sign of wear.
Taking a wall unit off its bracket
Wall-mounted electric fireplaces hang on a bracket fixed to the wall, and many repairs need access to the back. The unit is unplugged, any safety screws are removed and two people lift it clear of the bracket.
It is laid face up on a padded surface to protect the glass. After the repair, the unit goes back on the bracket, the safety screws are refitted and level is checked. The bracket itself is checked for loose fixings while it is exposed, since a loose bracket can be the cause of a rattle. Wiring behind a wall unit is checked while it is down, including the outlet it plugs into.

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.
Can you get parts for an older model?
Usually, through the maker or its parts distributors, ordered by model and serial number. A discontinued part is flagged to you before any charge.
