Why does my Dimplex SF3003 keep tripping the circuit breaker?
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 which case you should trace the wiring. Alternatively, additional appliances might be exceeding the current rating of the circuit breaker or fuse. Try plugging the unit into another outlet or installing it on a dedicated 15 amp circuit.
