Electric RV Fireplace Maintenance | Take Care Of Your RV Fireplace!

We LOVE our electric RV fireplace and today we will show you how easy it is to keep clean and in great working order! Electric RV fireplace maintenance is simple, quick, and will help ensure your RV fireplace remains in great working order. We have never removed our electric RV fireplace to clean out the dust or check the inner electrical connections, but after realizing how easy this process is, we will do this at least once per year. Most likely just before Wintertime, when we will use our electric fireplace daily.

You could have gave me a shout out on when we replaced ours. We did a video on replacing exact fireplace.

We've been fulltime in our Grand Design 5th wheel for two years. Occasionally when using the fireplace I'd get the code E3. Which, according to the fireplace operating manual is clogged or dirty vents. Great video. Made the job super easy. I pulled out the fireplace and the vents were very dirty! Thanks!

Oh man! We haven’t even thought about cleaning the fireplace. Another addition to the honey do list. Thanks a lot. 😂👍❤️

Only thing I'd add would be to add a drop or two of penentrating oil the the bearing on the fan motor. Something like "Break-Free" or Amsoil penentrating oil, or Boeing's penentrating oil, you get the gest. But Not WD40, it's more a cleaning solvent.

Great video. If anything pull it and plug holes for rodent protection.

Good video. Never knew what made those flames😂

Thanks that's a good tip. I've not cleaned mine yet the only problem I'm having right now is the adjustment of temperature. I'm constantly trying to a temperature that I wanting. Should I say I'm constantly turning the knob and never getting a good temperature that I want.

Good video. I’m guessing you guys were clear of that horrific weather the other night.

Mine started making a squeaking noise, I looked in there and the fan is just caked in dust hopefully its ok, will clean is asap thanks for the walkthrough I didnt know how to get the first thing off without breaking it. I wish I could clean the inside of the front glass too its dusty, went way too long without clean.

I havce a Grand Design with a Furrion fireplace as well. It kept giving me the blinking red light, so I found your video to maintenance. My fireplace was just as clean as yours, and so I left it half installed, and turned it back on. It appears that Grand Design did not offer enough airflow on the backside of the fireplace, so it would overheat after being on for about an hour for no obvious reason. I've vented the backside and now seem to be having no problems. I know it's relative to design and not maintenance, but it might help someone who's stuck.

Great video! We have the same fireplace. I took our out some time ago when the switch stopped working. We had to use the remote to turn it off and on. One day the switch started working again. I have thought about replacing it. Have you checked in to a replacement besides Furion? Thanks for sharing!

[loriamckinnie]

Our flames no longer work. Everything else works well. Any suggestions for getting the flames back working ? Thanks!!!

[mctech]

curious why you don't use it at night? Thanks for the video.

[kekoab]

Is it safe to run it full time during the day and night?

[ursssssssaaaaa]

So how do I get inside the glass though to clean where the rocks are?
