Just get a new fireplace

We struggled for a couple years with our Dimplex researched on line called dimples had DRV check it, but it just would not keep the heat element running for more than. Few minutes. Dimplex advised to replace the entire heat element at $160. After considering that we also had to replace the flame lights it seemed like a better rout to go was a total replacement Carefully...very carefully measure the fireplace opening the width is the key, you have some wiggle room in the height then hit amazon or eBay and start shopping, be careful on the measurements posted on line and confirm a matching inside width measurement our is 26 and 3/4 inches but the fireplace was posted as a 28inch model, that turns out to be the outside trim. We had to add a coupe of mounting blocks inside the opening and drill 4 holes in the fireplace flange to mount our Ever Light replacement that was $200.
