So when I add up the approximate cost of everything you listed that is necessary to make, edit and publish this video, you invest a lot to educate the public at no cost to us. That's pretty amazing man. No telling how much money you save other people. There's good and bad karma in everybody's future. You can rest easy, you got the good stuff lining up for you. Thanks for all the knowledge. Subscribed
Thanks to your detailed video, I was able to change out the motor on my electric fireplace. The motor wasn't spinning the reflectors so the flame wasn't moving. I bought the motor (for about $5) and followed the instructions on your video. I'm a health care worker (surgical technician) this is not something I do so I was a little skeptical about doing it, but thanks to you I have my electric fireplace working again. Thank you
I had to revisit your channel to let you know I watched your video and fixed my fireplace all by myself! I was thrilled to have this knowledge and was able to fix it for only $10 by purchasing a CW 15-18 RPM motor online. Thank you for making these helpful videos. 😊
Thank you! I fixed my fireplace with your help. The comments about the CW, CCW helped, because I couldn't find a CW. Just turning it off and on again will make the flames dance up instead of down. I had a $500 fireplace that you helped me fix for $10. I also bought an extra motor just in case. Mine didn't have a cotter pin. And the new moter did have a bigger shaft, but I was able to squeeze it in without having to route out the rubber sleeve. Thanks so much!!
What if the reflective wheel is turning, the small LED bulbs mounted on a circuit board respond to power applied to the soldered circuit spots, but the LEDs aren't turning on when using the remote? My bf knows electrical and is stumped as to why our lights aren't turning on. The heater part does work. We got the insert today from my grandparents. Not sure if something got disturbed during transport. Any advice? Please and thank you. Hopefully I'll see any response.
Please help - my problem is my dimplex has a motor with a third brown wire. I have no idea what that 3rd wire is for and can’t find one with three wires (mine are white, brown, black) and it’s cw, 2-5w, 10rpm, 60hz, 120v.
Hubby was able to change light bulbs in bottom of fireplace. Problem is now the flames are white instead of orange or yellow. He purchases ‘day light’ bulbs. That could be the issue. What do you think?
Day light bulbs would make a whiter light. I'd use a normal clear light bulb, or find out what the manufacturer recommended and use that. Also if for some reason a colored lens (if the fireplace uses one) was removed to replace the bulbs make sure that was put back in place.
Type in (google) the model number. It should take you to the maker of the electric fireplace. I called the company and told them the problem and they suggested to change out the motor. Then I watched Channel Ron and he showed me how to fix the problem. It's pretty easy to fix. It took me about 30 minutes. Good luck
I'm kinda' surprised that you didn't start by checking the connections leading to the motor. "Made In China" ... the connections could easily have been poorly done and taken a few seasons to manifest.

Have wondered how the flames in our electric heater are made, and now, I know! So simple!

@@channelron3593 - I fixed my second fireplace. This was for my grandson. It also needed a new mother. He was thrilled. So thanks again! 😊

Wow? well sound like the board for the LED's could have a crack? dose not take much for them to break as they are fragile, not sure?

not sure maybe cap of the brown and try.
The lights. Aren't coming on and the not burnt out but not coming on any ideas??
Could be the main board? I would test with multimeter to see if any voltaded is getting to the lights.
what is the 4mms to 7mms tubing called, thank you
Not sure what that is? to me it was just a Piece of tubing of some sort?

Ya I am going to say the motor. should be a link in the video.

Yeah, I know, but from what I have seen, all of these are junk, and that's just the problem. But you are right.
