If the heater on your Dimplex Stove isn't turning on but the flame effect works, there might be a few reasons. First, refer to the Operation Section. It could be due to loose wiring (trace wiring in unit), a defective Heater On/Off Switch (replace it), a defective thermostat (replace it), or a defective heater assembly (replace it).
Why does my Dimplex DS5603 heater emit an odor?
A Dimplex Stove heater may emit an odor when initially turned on, which is normal as it burns off dust accumulated during manufacturing or operation. However, if the odor persists, the Heater Assembly may be defective and should be replaced.
Why does my Dimplex DS5603 turn on and off by itself?
If your Dimplex Stove is turning on or off by itself, the Remote Control might have a similar frequency to other remotes nearby. Replace the Remote Control and initialize both the Remote Control and Remote Control Receiver. It could also be due to radio frequency disturbance from outside sources. Replace the Remote Control and Remote Control Receiver, where necessary and initialize them.
Why is my Dimplex DS5603 making excessive noise with the heater on?
Excessive noise from your Dimplex Stove when the heater is on may be due to a dirty blower assembly. Ensure that the exterior intake louvers and firebox cavity are free of dirt and dust. If the noise persists, the Heater Assembly might be defective and require replacement.
Why does the circuit breaker trip when I turn on my Dimplex DS5603?
If the circuit breaker trips or a fuse blows when you turn on your Dimplex Stove, it could be due to a short in the unit's wiring. In this case, trace the wiring in the unit. Alternatively, the circuit may be overloaded. Additional appliances might be drawing too much power. Try plugging the unit into another outlet or installing it on a dedicated 15 amp circuit.
Why is my Dimplex DS5603 Stove heater fan on but there is no heat?
If the heater fan in your Dimplex Stove turns on but isn't producing heat, first, refer to the Operation Section. Check for loose wiring by tracing the wiring in the unit. The Heater On/Off Switch or the Thermostat might be defective, requiring replacement. In some cases, the Heater Assembly itself may be defective and need replacement.
What to do if Dimplex DS5603 does not turn on using the remote control?
If your Dimplex Stove isn't turning on with the remote control, first, refer to the Operation Section. The Remote Control may not be initialized to the fireplace, so initialize it. If the remote isn't working, install a new battery and reinitialize it if needed. If these steps don't work, the Remote Control or Remote Control Receiver may need to be replaced and initialized.
Why does my Dimplex DS5603 Stove heater turn off after a couple of minutes?
If the heater on your Dimplex Stove turns off after a few 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. Alternatively, the Heater Assembly might be defective and needs to be replaced.
How to fix a Dimplex DS5603 that does not turn on manually?
If your Dimplex Stove isn't turning on manually, it could be due to several reasons. First, refer to the Operation Section. Check the fuse/breaker panel for incoming voltage from the electrical wall socket. Also, check wiring connections for any loose wiring. The On/Off or 3-Position Switch might be defective (replace it, depending on the model). Finally, the Remote Control Receiver could be defective (replace it and initialize with the Remote Control).
