Leisure Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

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.

Remove the firebox glass (actually it's plexiglass) and set off to the side out of the way. Now, Remove the logs from simulated burner and set off to the side out of the way. The glowing coal effect plastic panel under where the logs were, should lift out, exposing the 60 watt, small base, chandelier bulbs, They unscrew counterclockwise from their individual holders. Replace the bulbs and reinstall everything else in reverse order, from the way you took it out. Caution: Be sure the Master On/Off Switch for the fireplace is in the OFF position, before starting any work on the fireplace.

Hope this helps you to solve the problem.

If you're not getting any flame effect or only a portion of it. One or more of the 60 watt small base chandelier bulbs is burned out. Replacing one or more should solve your problem.

If you're under the one year standard Warranty, since you purchased the heater, Heat Sure will replace it for you. If you're out of warranty contact Heat Surge 800-924-7964 and you can purchase the motor from them.

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.

Note that vermont casting ony deals with dealers however if you then follow that link should get you to a participating dealer.

Have you changed the batteries in the hand-held transmitter? If not, that may be the problem. Be sure you use fresh batteries out of the package and not recycled ones. If changing the batteries does not solve the problem. Unplug the fireplace from the electrical receptacle and leave unplugged for 10-15 minutes.This will allow enough time for it to reset itself.

Hope this solves your problem.

It may be that the heater overload switch is shutting it off, because of overheating. Especially, if the heater is used a lot and is a year or more old. You can try to reset the overload switch by unplugging the unit for 10 - 15 minutes. Then plugging it back in again. If that doesn't solve the problem, you need to contact the manufacturer's Technical Service concerning this issue.

Also, cleaning the heating element with a vacuum that has a hose and brush attachment may help solve the problem. As the heating element may be clogged with dust and lint.

Hope this helps solve your problem.

check power supply if this is good then check for A reset on motor some time,s if you have and short it can trip internally or burn out the switch

i have pyromaster hef33. flames on my stop moveing also. i took off front glass and logs. then i got a long metal tool and.then i tap the moter that moves the rod that makes the flames move.and also i move the rod back and forth alittle bit. i did put just bit 3in one oil on both ends of the rod. so far its doing better now . this may help some one or it not. i thank the moter or rod was sticking

when the gas logs were installed the vent damper should have disabled. it sounds like this was done.it is unsafe to close the damper with gas piped into the fire place. sometimes a "u" block will be placed over the damper blade. if the gas has been removed and not piped into the firebox anymore it would be safe to remove this

If the unit still heats then try replacing the light bulb first, then I would check the flame generator. You can locate parts from website ibuyfireplaceparts.com.

You more than likely need a replacement for the flamegnerator. I found a site www.ibuyfireplaceparts to be very helpful for purchasing replacement parts.

I found a website that has many of these parts. Try ibuyfireplaceparts.com.

you can try grainger.com and go to industrial motors with the model no.,h.p rating manufactures name and voltage. They carry a large selection and are good about service. Hope this helps you. Thanks

I to have the ghost that turns on remote controlled items at times mainly changing the modes on my television. I have found out the culprit to be when my wife gets a text message on her phone that this happens. So it could be cell phone, or wireless router, or gaming systems there are so many different things that may interfere with your remote. Not saying it is the case but experiment when it happens you will be surprised what it may be.

sounds like you need to replace the thermocouple. this part is heated by the pilot flame and it sends a low voltage flame to the gas valve to open the main gas flow valve. they are very easy to install and they are located next to the pilot burner and screw into the gas valve.

If you still have the owners manual it should tell you the location of any resets,fuseible links,or fuses.I think from a storm of that intensity that if you are lucky it just tripped the reset. I also would double check all breakers and fuses. Before I spent the money on a new one I would verify that you have power to fireplace.Any decent electrician should be able to check this for a minimum charge. I hope this is some help. Thanks
