see this causes and fix it. God bless youIf an appliance that should produce heat does not, inspect the element for breaks or obvious damage. If you don't see any damage, test the element for continuity (see below).

1. Turn off power to the appliance or device. If the unit is plugged in, unplug it from the electrical receptacle (outlet); if the device is wired into the circuit (such as an oven), turn off the circuit at the electrical service panel.
2. Disassemble the appliance or device to access the heating element, following the guides in this book for your appliance. Some heating elements, such as plug-in units in electric ovens, are relatively easy to remove (see the Electric Oven Fix-It Guide).
3. Set the multimeter to RX1 (resistance times 1).
4. Touch the multimeter probes to each end of the element.
5. High resistance (kilo-ohms or thousands of ohms) indicates the heating element is okay. A reading of infinite resistance indicates a broken element.
6. If a heating element is faulty, replace it with one of the exact size, shape, power rating, and resistance.
7. Reassemble the appliance or device and turn it on or plug it in to test it.

I have the same problem. Heats fine for a 1 minute then 'click', and no more heat. If I turn it off and wait a few minutes, 'click' and it will blow heat again (for 1 minute...).Link from Mike didn't help because this is an Electric heater, in an 'amish fireplace'.I'm thinking it might be a faulty 'thermal fuse' or possibly the thermostat. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4969160_thermal-fuse-work.html

you need 600 mille volts for this to work

Any Vermont Castings stove dealer can order the parts for you.

The number provided by wilson524 is incorrect. To reach Hankscraft please call 608-524-4341. We are happy to assist you. Thank you,Hankscraft Inc.

I'm sorry, but we don't sell any parts or appliances here on FixYa. We simply provide information on how troubleshoot and/or repair many things. With that said, I can tell you, from what you described, you need more than just and ON/OFF Switch, if in fact, it "burned out". Something else electrically is wrong with your electric fireplace-heater to cause that.

Unfortunately, you failed to mention the Model Number of your Charm Glow Fireplace, so I can't steer you, to where you may be able to find a replacement switch. If you can provide that information, I may be able to help you.

Maybe need a Millivolt thermostat ?
