Noisy fan on electric fireplace

Live in a condo with an electric fireplace. It has started to make a lot of noise when I turn it on. I have no idea what brand it is but it is only about 4 or 5 years old. Would I call an electrician for repairs or would I need a fireplace specialist?

    It's weird that your fireplace is making noises when it's only five years old. Mine is at least a decade old, and the fan is so loud that it's difficult to hear people speak in the same room when it's on. I think I'm going to be safe and fall a fireplace repair service instead of an electrician because they'll probably know the problem better. http://www.aoneheatingandairmd.com/heati...

My recommendation would be to contact a fireplace showroom that sells electric fireplaces. It would be best if you could inspect your fireplace for the sticker that identifies the fireplace's brand and model#. The primary concern is contacting a showroom that is able to order parts for that brand...

The above is correct however not always practible. A good electrician should be able to source a fan for replacment.

SOURCE: electric fireplace does not heat

I have a cheap electric fireplace bought in SuperCentre store-heater no longer works. It says its a one piece system. Can these heaters be replaced or repaired(probably made in China) or am i better off scrapping it and buying a new one?

SOURCE: My Heater stopped working on my HEF33 Electric fireplace

We have had this same problem with our heater. But I went online to find out where I could purchase replacement parts. The company that sold the fireplace went out of business. I also went on-line to try and fine a universal replacement part. So far no help to be found.

Portable Heat Flame Electric Fireplace

Electric fireplaces are becoming more and more popular with today's homeowner's. The main advantage of the electric fireplace is generally portability, convenience, low initial cost is important. They also are a good choice when the looks are not as important as function.
Some electric fireplaces have simulated flames that give the look of traditional fireplaces. Another great option to include is a built-in fan to help distribute the heat more effectively. With some of these high end units it can be very hard to tell the difference between an electric fireplace and a wood burning stove. Along with this option may come a heatless setting the will give the look of flames but produce no heat. The remote control has also found its way to the fireplace market. There are many units that can be remotely controlled.
Electric fireplaces are generally cheaper than gas fireplaces. A good unit can be bought for about $500 (there are cheaper models available, but they tend to have fewer options and the flames are not as real looking). These fireplace units are fairly easy to install compared to a gas fireplaces or wood-burning stoves (both of which usually need flues to vent). If you can plug in an electric cord then this type of fireplace may be for you. The electric units are perfect for apartment buildings and condominiums. These places are not suitable for the traditional wood fireplace.
Just like other types of portable electric heaters, electric fireplaces will radiate heat very quickly extreme care must be taken to not have any combustibles too close to them.
You will see how an electric fireplace can transform any setting for you. The newest modern, advanced electric units have far more aesthetically appealing views. They might include fiber optic displays, or randomized lights designed to make the look of dancing flames.
Now whether you're living in a condo or apartment and can't have a real fireplace, the electric fireplace can be a great way to get some of the warmth and ambiance. Also remember that these units are very portable, so you can take them with you when it's time to move. Even though I have never been a big fan of electric fireplaces, because of the expense of their operation, I can see why they would be very popular with many apartment or condos owners.

My dimplex fireplace is too noisy. It's been that way from day one. We should have sent it back, I guess. Everything else is great about it but it sounds like a 747 jet!

I have been dealing with electric fireplace/heaters for several years, now. And for the life of me, I can not think of a thing that would cause a noise like a 747 jet plane. Could you be a little more specific as to which function of the fireplace cause this noise?

Look forward to hearing from you.

I have china electric fireplace model ND-20B. i turn on it lights up and fan was making noise so i took it apart and cleaning dust from fan area. Turned on and lite up and within seconds it automatically...

There are no fuses to look for. Just overload circuitry. However, before you do anything else, turn the Master Control ON/OFF Switch to OFF. Unplug the fireplace and wait 12 to 15 minutes, before plugging it back in. This will give the circuity time to reset itself. Once it;s plugged back in, turn on each function one at a time to see if it works. If it does, problem solved. However, if having to reset the unit becomes more frequent, contact the Technical Service Dept, of the manufacturer.

Hope this helps you to solve the problem.
