I picked up this Duraflame infrared electric heater for free because the light for the fire illusion wasn't working (and it is July). Let's see if we can relight the fire.
The model number is DFI-7025-01. I currently cannot find the Amazon link. As soon as I do, I will update the description.

Nothing like going the long way around the barn to fix something ✌️❤️

@The_Xtina Год назад

Thank you! I just turned on my electric fireplace just like this one and the lights/flames were out. Hopped on RU-vid to find a solution and yours was the first video that popped up. Simple enough, even for a girl 😂 I got mine at a local thrift store a couple of years ago in like brand new condition, heater and flames both working fine (until today when lights went out/bulb blew). I think they had it priced for around $15 and I ended up getting it for $10. I’m like you, love my freebies and deals! Take care ❤

Thank you so much for posting this video! I have virtually the same heater and noticed after a year the "flames" would sometimes not work unless I closed the door hard. I should have realized then it was an issue with the bulb's filament. I'm relieved that it's a simple fix because I love my heater! Using it right now on this cold morning and will be getting that replacement bulb asap!

Can actually lift the plastic fake log panel up just enough to change bulb as well

There are two screws holding the plastic fake logs. Much easier access to the bulbs that way.

@barbie7034 2 года назад

I’ve got a similar one also Dura flame and it blows cold air. I would love to know how to fix the heating element

@TheFixitShed 2 года назад

I believe the elements are replaceable, but if none of them are heating up it may be a problem with the control electronics or the thermostat. Hard to say without being able to look at it.

@mse7501 Год назад

40 w blubs btw

@karolgarley Год назад

Extremely Helpful!!! Though the switch to turn on the heat component is not working. Is this fixable? Thank You!!! 😊

@TheFixitShed Год назад

Replacing the switch shouldn't be too difficult. Finding the right switch might be the hardest part. If you can find a website for the manufacturer of your heater, they may have a parts list you can look up and find the correct switch you need. I am not sure if the switches unplug or are soldered in. Uf the unplug, that is easy. If you have to solder them in, that may be more challenging, depending on your skill set.

@jackhowland3737 Год назад

It's a rheostat. Used to hang on the rack at Radio Shack.

@CarrieMtn Год назад

Boy they really want you to throw it away and buy a new one. Otherwise they would have engineered it to be a lot easier to replace the bulb. Thanks for showing this. I will attempt to change it myself.

@TheFixitShed Год назад

They really tried to keep costs down. Should be easier access.

@CarrieMtn Год назад

@@TheFixitShed I do understand the need to keep cost down. Just saying- probably less than a buck to put in a “hatch.” Oh well I still will give it a try.

@fiftyshadesofpam9470 10 месяцев назад

On mine you just take the plastic logs out to replace the bulb. But my togo switch stopped working on the heater. I noticed a spring laying down in the bottom but don't know how it hooks up

@TheFixitShed 10 месяцев назад

I think I tried to access from the front, but didn't have any luck. It wouls make sense to have easier access. Some models have an access panel on the back to make it easier. I don't have this heater anymore to check it out.

@padmaepley4457 Год назад

Thanks. Great video. With the heat turned off, after replacing the bulb a terrible noise was heard. On the opposite end of the flame spindle from the motor, I noticed a lot of excess grease. Where did that come from? This fireplace is 5 years old and has had 2 bulb replacements and a splindle motor replaced. I feel I should clean the grease. I'm afraid if I do the unit may not be safe. What do you think? Is my fireplace dead? Where did the grease come from? Padma (Nothing like a man around the house!)

@TheFixitShed Год назад

Cleaning the crease off should not hurt anything. Not sure where it came from. I don't have this heater that I cal look at it anymore to help figure it out. Did it stop working after the noise?

@christiantaylorxo 7 месяцев назад

What about one where the 1000W button won’t flip anymore?

@TheFixitShed 7 месяцев назад

I have a similar problem woth a different heater, except it is with the on/off switch. I have to find a replacement switch for it. I have been getting by with just unplugging it, but that won't help you. Is your button jammed and doesn't move, or can you press it, but it won't stay flipped?

@christiantaylorxo 7 месяцев назад

@@TheFixitShed yeah mines a different one too. Mine has an on and off switch too but that works. The flame light turns on n everything. But no heat comes from it. I don’t think my 1000W button is jammed bc I’m able to press it down, but it won’t stay flipped 🥲

@albert2241 10 месяцев назад

I replace the bulb but it still doesn't work I was wondering is there a fuse inside of it

@poetfederico 9 месяцев назад

What is an easy fix for why the little rotary arm won't turn to make the light flicker?

@TheFixitShed 9 месяцев назад

Did the arm come loose from the motor, or is the motor not working? I don't don't have this heater to reference anymore.

@poetfederico 9 месяцев назад

I fixed it lol. They arm wasn't turning, so I put lots of DW40 and where the stem meets the little motor worked it in a little bit, and problem solved. Thanks anyway.

@Drocka69 11 месяцев назад

What about the motor for the flames not working?

@TheFixitShed 11 месяцев назад

I am probably not going to be much help. I would check all the electrical connections. Make sure nothng came loose. If it is actually the motor that burned up, you might be able to find a replacement online, but I doubt it will be cost evvective. I don't have mine anymore, so I cannot look at it for reference.

@InboundG 8 месяцев назад

I have one of these but I can’t get the auto on and off to work, it just keeps warming up forever. Am i just doing it wrong??

@TheFixitShed 8 месяцев назад

If you turn the temp setting all the way down and it doesn't ever shut down, there is a problem with the thermostat. You could try just making sure all of the dust is out of it (as in the video), but more than likely, dust build up would have the opposite effect.

@omartaylor6782 6 месяцев назад

Any info if he heater part not working?

@TheFixitShed 6 месяцев назад

If the fan isn't working, it can cause the heating elements to trigger the safety shut down right away, so check the fan. If the fan is blowing, but the elemnts don't heat up, some of these heaters have replaceable element. you can check those. If you have a circuit tester, they should test for continuity, if they don't try new elements. You can see me do this test on a different kind of heater here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8XBPgxr4WGY.html

@hurkamur1 Год назад

The fan on ours stopped working.

@TheFixitShed Год назад

That is unfortunate. I don't know that I am going to be of much help, as I don't have that heater any more. I do have another heater that has a fan that isn't working, but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Hopefully I will get a video up of that one in the next couple of weeks.

Hello I have a Duraflame Electric Infrared Quartz Fireplace Stove with 3D Flame Effect and heater isn’t working. An error message (E3) appears. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

@TheFixitShed 9 месяцев назад

E3 means it is over heating. the manual says "Inspect the heater and check that the air inlets and outlets are not blockedas this may cause overheating. Unplug the heater for 5 minutes and allow it to cool down. Replug and operate, monitor the heater for signs of overheating, if the problem persist discontinue use of the heater and contact customer service"

So I have the same problem with no lights working, but heat still works. I changed my bulbs and the light still won’t turn on. Any solutions?

@TheFixitShed Год назад

It is really hard to say. It sounds like you have a different heater from the one in the video that has more than one bulb. I would would probably start by checking for loose wires.

@deettaphelps5066 9 месяцев назад

In my owners manual it says it's the "Dimmer Switch" cause mine wasn't the bulb either. I'm here trying to find out how to take it apart to get to it.

@ynb_clipz Год назад

What do I do when the legs won't align with the screw holes?

@TheFixitShed Год назад

I am guessing you bought a new one and are trying to assemble it out of the box. You could drill new holes for the screws that don't line up. If it is like mine, the metal should be pretty easy to drill through. Just be careful. Make sure it is unplugged and that there is nothing on the inside you might actually drill into. Option 2 - Return it to the store.
