How to troubleshoot a heater that stops by itself
If your heater sometimes shuts off, follow the steps below to identify the cause and restore normal operation.
Check what stopped first
Case A: Everything is off (flame/light + heater all stop)
- Try a different working wall socket.
- Turn off other high-power appliances on the same circuit (the breaker may trip and cut power to the whole fireplace).
- Make sure the plug is fully inserted and the main power switch is on.
Case B: Only the heater stops (flame/light stays on)
- Make sure vents are clear and the unit has enough ventilation space (Check installation requirements here).
- Let the unit cool down for 10–15 minutes, then restart the heater.
If it doesn’t work, it may be due to:
- Breaker keeps tripping (Case A): Use a different circuit/socket and avoid sharing the line with high-power appliances.
- Overheat protection (Case B): Clean dust from air inlets/outlets, improve airflow, and avoid placing the unit in a closed space.
- Auto temperature control (Case B): Some models pause the heater after reaching the set temperature and restart later. Increase the target temperature slightly and test again.
