  • Unplug the fireplace
  • Open up the fireplace to gain access to the inside.
  • Inspect switch for charring, melting, etc.
  • Inspect circuit board for charring etc.
  • If indeed the switch is the culprit: then...
  • Unhook the wires from the switch.
  • Remove the switch.
  • Bring the switch into your local hardware store or radio shack.
  • Buy a compatible switch - pay attention to amperage markings etc. so your new switch can handle the power.
  • Install new switch and re-hook up the wiring.
  • Close up the fireplace and enjoy...

SOURCE: Electric Fireplace Insert

verify the breaker is on (reset) then power up and verify voltage with a meter, there are safty devices that will keep the unit from energizing other than the switch

I have a 42" Muskoka electric fireplace Model MFB42wsc that just completely quit working. I believe it may be the control board...where can I purchase another one. I live in Edmonton, Alberta

Type "Muskota fireplaces" into your computer's search engine and see whether you can find a dealer or a manufacturer.
You should be able to.
God bless your efforts.

Muskoka fireplace #mfb25ws-1 has power going to fireplace but won't start

I had the same problem, power to switch but won't operate, when the switch is turned on the beep is heard indicating there is power. Took me a while to find the issue and it was tracked down to the micro switches on the front circuit control board. They where worn and not making proper contact to complete the control circuit, they work when I wiggle the micro switch (can only test it by holding the circuit board in your hands and push on the micro switch around, doesn't work if it's still attached to the fireplace as you are not able to wiggle the switch.) I went on amazon and purchase new micro switches and replace all of them (5) and is now working perfectly. Just be careful when desoldering/soldering the circuit board. Good luck... Hope this may be the problem.
