Blower motor on coleman electric fireplace FL28-R not working

SOURCE: Chicagao electric fireplace heater doesn't work

MY HEATER NOT WORKING,BLOWER AND LIGHT COME ON NO HEAT

SOURCE: We have an electric fireplace

Don't despair, it's very common with electric fireplace/heaters. They weren't built to run long periods of time and most fail within one year.

A couple of things may have caused your problem. These fans get clogged with dust, lint and/or pet hair and is puts a strain on their continued operation. If you're fortunate enough to still have your Owners Manual, it will show/tell you how to access the fan motor and blades under the lower portion of the firebox. Clean the fan and motor using a vacuum cleaner, that has a hose and a brush attachment. Attempt this only after you have unplugged the fireplace from the wall. If you have a can of compressed air with a straw nozzle (like you clean your computer with) use that to blow out the nooks and crannies. Reassemble the bottom of the firebox, plug in the cord and give it a try.

If that didn't solve your problem, either the fan motor is bad or the switch to turn the fan on is bad.
Those parts you'll have to purchase directly from Dimplex USA.

Hope this helps you solve the problem.
