    Why is the heating element glowing red in my Dimplex EWF-SS Indoor Fireplace?
    • S
      Stephanie AbbottSep 8, 2025
      Small glowing sections of the heating element in your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace are normal. However, if larger glowing sections are causing the heater to trip the thermal cutout, unplug the unit, discontinue use, and replace the heater assembly.

    Why does my Dimplex Indoor Fireplace heater emit an odor?
    • J
      Jordan LeeAug 23, 2025
      A brief odor from your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace heater after initial use is normal, as it burns off dust accumulated during manufacturing or operation. If the odor persists or seems unusual, it could indicate a defective heater assembly, which would need replacement.

      William WilliamsAug 26, 2025
      If your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace isn't turning on in Manual Mode, there might be several reasons. First, check the fuse/breaker panel to ensure there's incoming voltage from the electrical wall socket. Other potential causes include a defective Main On/Off/Remote switch (which would need replacement), a defective circuit board (also requiring replacement), or loose wiring (check the wiring connections).

      If your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace isn't turning on in Remote Mode, first ensure the remote control is initialized to the fireplace. If not, initialize the remote control. Also, the remote control might be defective, install a new battery into the handheld transmitter and re-configure remote where necessary. A defective circuit board could also be the cause, requiring replacement.

      Grinding or excessive noise when your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace heater is off can occur if the moving flame rod is hitting or rubbing against internal components. Ensure the rod is straight, properly mounted in the bracket, and spinning freely away from other components. Replace if necessary. A defective flame motor could also be the cause, requiring replacement.

    Why are the lights dim in the room when my Dimplex EWF-SS Indoor Fireplace is on?
    • J
      jonesginaSep 4, 2025
      If the lights dim in the room when your Dimplex Indoor Fireplace is on, it's likely because the unit is drawing close to the circuit's current rating. Try moving the unit to another outlet or installing it on a dedicated 15 amp circuit.
