: Fireplaces in entertainmentcenters are very safe. Some would arguethat they are safer than regular fireplaces because they glass stays cool tothe touch. Also, unlike a regular fire,you can turn off the fireplace with the push of a button because they aregas/electric.

Sounds as if the Fan Switch may also be faulty. Or the new fan motor is defective. Is the flame function on the electric fireplace working? If the flame function is working, than obviously the fault is either in the fan switch or the new fan motor.

If the motor has a regular receptacle type plug on the end of the cord, try plugging it directly to a wall outlet and see if it works. If you're able to do that, then the problem is in the fireplace's fan switch or in the wiring circuitry going to the fan motor. Perhaps, this is what was wrong all along and not the fan motor, itself.

If nothing is working, check the wall receptacle that the fireplace is plugged into, by plugging in an electric lamp. If the lamp won't turn on, then there's a circuit breaker tripped in your homes circuit breaker panel. Check the circuit breaker panel for a tripped breaker and with nothing plugged into the offending receptacle, reset the breaker. Plug the fireplace back into the receptacle, turn it on and see if it trips the circuit breaker. If it does, there's an electrical short some where in the fireplace. Look for burned or frayed wiring, as well as bad connections.

Hope this helps solve your problem.

Wrong wrong wrong. Sorry guys. The fan motor is being overloaded. They have thermal fuses in them that break the circuit the fan isn't dissipating the heat or if there is too much current being pulled. You need to disassemble the fan motor and clean the bearings. I did it with a friend and it took about an hour. It is possible to disassemble it and grease everything up. You need to pull the fan blades out and grease up the axle. That is what solved our problem.

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.
