Why does my Dimplex DF3215 Indoor Fireplace trip the circuit breaker?
- S
  Sarah BrownAug 21, 2025
  If the circuit breaker trips or a fuse blows when you turn on your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace, it could be due to a short in the unit's wiring. In this case, you should trace the wiring in the unit to identify and fix the short. Alternatively, the issue might be that the circuit's current rating is insufficient because additional appliances are drawing too much power. To resolve this, try plugging the fireplace into another outlet or installing it on a dedicated 15 amp circuit.

  If your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace heater is turning off after only a couple of minutes, it could be due to a buildup of dirt or dust in the Heater Assembly. Ensure that the exterior intake louvers and firebox cavity are free of dirt and dust. If the problem persists, the Heater Assembly may be defective and require replacement.

Why does my Dimplex DF3215 Indoor Fireplace turn on and off by itself?
- D
  Daniel LyonsAug 27, 2025
  If your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace turns on or off by itself, the cause could be improper operation. Refer to the Operation Section and check the Occupancy Sensor Settings. It's also possible that the remote control has a similar frequency to other remotes nearby; in this case, change the frequency of the Remote Control, referring to the Operation Section. A defective Remote Control Receiver might also be the culprit, requiring you to replace it and initialize both the Remote Control and Receiver.
