This fire is only 3 months old but has started to make a loud ticking/clicking noise when the flame effect is on it was quiet at first but now is quite loud and very annoying, can you please tell me if there is anything I can do to stop it. Thanks
You need a new synchronous motor. This is the small motor which turns the flame effect rod. They are notorious for becoming noisy.

I have the same problem with this synchronous motor from my mums electric fir. Took it out but where can i get this synchronous motor? By the way, I'm writing you from Holland. An answer is much appreciated, your can post me at; [email protected] thanks a lot in advance...
This is an old post! I am having the same issue with a clicking electric fireplace heater. I took the backing off and noted that the clicking sound is indeed coming from the synchronous motor. I see it's something that can be replaced without too much difficulty so I've just placed an order for a replacement. Thank you for your help. The other solutions offered online such as clearing the dust and checking for debris and heating coils expanding didn't apply here.

SOURCE: motor in dimplex fire/heater not turning
Hello. It could be possible that a piece or some of the foil that gives the flame effect has fallen down on the motor, that creates the heat. This could be causing the noise. I would not think this is an electrics problem.
I would ensure the electric fire is disconnected from any power supply and either open the heater myself or get a electrical specialist to have a look. Then you will see exactly what is happening. A piece of foil may be visible which is catching the motor.
If you decide to tackle the problem yourself write down how to put the heater back together as you take each part out. These parts would be covers etc. It can easily get confusing. That is important.
