Power Cord Replacement - Dimplex DF2608-AU Service Manual

Power Cord Replacement

If the fireplace was operating prior to servicing allow at least
10 minutes for light bulbs and heating element to cool off to
avoid accidental burning of skin.
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
persons.
Replacement Procedure:
1. Remove the firebox from the mantel.
2. Lay unit on its back.
3. Remove the 12 Philips screws that fasten the bottom
cover to the rest of the firebox. There are: two (2)
screws on each side; two (2) screws on the back panel
(you may have to tip the bottom of the fireplace up
if it is laying on its back), four (4) screws in the front
directly under the control panel; and two (2) screws on
the bottom of the fireplace (see Figure 7, Page 8). The
bottom panel is now free to be removed.
5. Locate and disconnect the two (2) power cord wire
connections: one from the middle of the three (3)
connectors on the 3 Position On/Off Switch; the other
on the Flame Speed Control board, noting their original
locations (Figure 20).
