Heater fan on electric fireplace not working, so heat shuts off and won't come back on. The manufacturer is Southern Enterprises, Inc., model no. FA515500TX.

'make model (what it is)' in all questions please.

It looks like it is a Febo Electric Fireplace. There is a recall on the 30A model and it gives the importer details, who should be able to supply parts.

This really isn't a TV video question but maybe I can help, generally issues with this type of item is a safety thermal fuse that has opened up, it can be diagnosed with a multi meter.

Well what do you expect? Of course it won\'t work you are damaging your stereo with heat from the fireplace. Move it to another place. Oh that does not mean in front of the heater. You have probably melted the heck out of the poor stereo.

Maybe need a Millivolt thermostat ?

There are a couple of reasons the heating unit part of the fireplace stop heating. A dust and lint build up in the heating coils can cause them to burn out. The heater overload circuitry has shut the heater down or has failed or the unit needs to reset. so lets go to the easiest thing for you to do, yourself.

RESETTING THE HEATER
Turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF. Unplug the fireplace and wait 12 - 15 minutes before plugging it back in. Then turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Turn ON each individual function of the fireplace, one at a time. If the unit was able to reset itself, each function should work normally. If it doesn't, then one of the issues I listed above is the problem.

If your fireplace is less than one year old, it should still be under warranty. So contact the manufacturer (you can find the contact info in your Owners Manual) about repair or replacement.

One personal aside: None of the electric fireplace/heaters on the market today, have a long trouble free life span. Usually, it's 9 months to a year, when consumers start having problems. I sold these type of appliances for a couple of years, as an adjunct to our gas fireplace and heater business. When they started to become a problem for our customers, we quickly realized, that no matter who the manufacturer is/was, they are not what they are touted to be and we discontinued selling them. It's been 4 years since we discontinued selling them and apparently, nothing has changed in their manufacture. As, I answer more than my share of questions about them, here on FixYa. As one person told me, "I wish I had bought a vent-free gas fireplace instead. It would have cost me more, but would have been more reliable and would still heat, even if the power was out."

I hope this helps you trouble shoot and solve the problem.

Happy Easter!

The best source that I've found for motors of all types is washer specialties inc. You can find the location of the one nearest to you. You will need model number,manufacture name, application,H.P. rating and possibly serial number off motor.I have had very good results dealing with this company. Hope this helps you. Thanks

whats your model number? What exactly is wrong with unit or your just wanting to upgrade?

Take the fan power switch apart and clean the 2 point contacts. Also clean the 4 male studs that the wires plug into. That should solve the problem.
