I noticed that my electric fireplace was shutting off periodically so I did some research into the possible reasons why.
Why does an electric fireplace shut off?
An electric fireplace can automatically shut off when:
The unit has overheated
Airflow into the fireplace is restricted
The temperature setting has been reached
The heater outlet is blocked
The heater element is dirty or dusty
Incorrect bulbs are used
There are a number of reasons why an electric fireplace would shut off, some more common than others. Each model of fireplace is different, and so going through the list of the most common issues why electric fireplaces shut off will help you identify the cause of your fireplace turning off unexpectedly.
