Led Light Harness Replacement - Dimplex DWF36-PG Service Manual

antenna from the board stays secured to the upper-
back panel and the remaining wire connections on the
board stay in-tact.
16. If mounting tabs have been cut, push the remainder of
the tabs out through the back panel
17. Inside the lower cavity, locate the terminal block on the
right hand side and the wires leading from the flicker
motor in the upper housing.
18. Remove the three (3) flicker motor wires from the
terminal block by using a Philips screw driver to loosen
the screw in each of the associated terminals. Note the
original wire locations and orientation of the capacitor.
19. Remove the three (3) screws, which secure the mount-
ing bracket to the bottom of the upper cavity. (Figure 6)
20. Remove the two (2) screws which secure the flicker
motor to the mounting bracket and remove the motor.
21. Carefully pull and twist the rubber gasket and reflector
rod off of the motor shaft, taking care not to bend the
rod. If the rod gets bent, it may cause a rubbing noise
once the fireplace is re-assembled.
22. Remove the original flicker motor and remove the
rubber barrier that mounts between the motor and the
bracket.
23. Fit the rubber barrier onto the new flicker motor and
mount the flicker motor onto the mounting bracket.
24. Feed the flicker motor wires through the opening on the
bottom panel.
25. Re-connect the rubber gasket and flicker rod to the
flicker motor and re-attach the mounting bracket to the
bottom of the upper cavity.
! NOTE: Ensure that the flicker rod is not bent and the
bushing in the center of the flicker rod is completely set in
the support bracket. The bushing must be properly aligned
for it to go all the way down into the bracket.
26. Reconnect the flicker motor wires and capacitor into
the appropriate terminals in the terminal block, accord-
ing to their original configuration.
! NOTE: It is helpful to use needle nose pliers to feed
the wires and hold them in position with one hand while
you secure the terminal screw into position with the other.
Once the screw is tightened, give a gentle tug on the wires
to ensure they are secure.
27. Install the new mounting tabs, if applicable. Line up
the remote control receiver and gently push it down to
secure it onto the mounting pegs.
28. Reconnect the wires for the On/Off switch, Remote
Switchboard, power cord and Remote Control Receiver
into their original positions.
29. Re-assemble the remainder of the fireplace in reverse
order from the instructions above.
! NOTE: Be sure that the flanges on the bottom panel
are positioned on the interior of the side and back panels of
the fireplace.
The air deflector panel located on the interior of the bottom
panel will need to be carefully fit over the heater assembly
elements. This may take some careful maneuvering, slid-
ing one side of the bottom panel in place first before the
second side.
The fit is tight and a flat instrument such as a flat head
screwdriver may be helpful to guide the second side when
pushing the bottom panel in place. Use care to not scratch
the visible surface of the bottom.

LED LIGHT HARNESS REPLACEMENT

Tools Required: Philips head screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Needle-nose pliers
WARNING: If the fireplace was operating prior to ser-
vicing, allow at least 10 minutes for light bulbs and heating
elements to cool off to avoid accidental burning of skin.
WARNING: Disconnect power before attempting any
maintenance to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage
to persons.
1. Remove the fireplace from the wall by carefully lifting it
upward, releasing it from the flanges of the wall-mount-
ing bracket. (Figure 3).
2. Carefully lay the fireplace down on its front.
! NOTE: If necessary, lay a protective barrier between
the front glass and your work surface, (i.e. cloth, cardboard,
thick plastic) to avoid scratching the glass or your work
surface.
3. Remove the left and right side exterior cover panels
from the body of the firebox by removing the screw on
the top flange and two (2) screws on the bottom flange
on each panel, six (6) screws in total. (See Figure 4 for
all screw locations.)
4. Remove the six (6) screws from the bottom edge of the
back panel.
5. Turn the fireplace over and lay it with the front glass
assembly facing up.
6. Remove glass assembly beginning with the four (4)
screws on the top panel. They are located along the
edge of the flat top-panel of the fireplace, where it
meets the angled panel of the glass assembly.
7. Remove the screws from the secondary side panels -
two on the left and two on the right, which attach the
glass assembly to the body of the fireplace.
WARNING: Do not remove the screws located in the
notched/cutout areas on these side panels where they
meet the angled panels on the left and right sides. These
hold the interior Partially Reflective Glass brackets in place
and may cause the Partially Reflective Glass to fall and
break.
8. Lift the glass assembly off the body of the fireplace and
set it aside in a safe location.
9. Carefully pull and twist the rubber gasket and reflector
rod off of the motor shaft, taking care not to bend the
rod. If the rod gets bent, it may cause a rubbing noise
