  • Furrion Fireplace Thermal Fuse

    When we left on our last trip the outside temperature was around 30F. So I turned on the electric fireplace while packing. The fan due to cold friction did not run fast enough and the heater came on, blowing the thermal fuse.

    Furrion recommends replacing the fireplace, for my error.

    The thermostat, blower, heater elements all work now at 60'F, with the fuse bypassed. WHICH I WILL DO FOR ONLY TESTING. I find it hard to believe that the fuse is a none replaceable part.

    Does anybody know what the specifications are for the fuse? ie temperature, voltage and current? I am thinking 50'C 120 VAC & 12 Amps.

    I know most thermal fuses are a couple of dollars.

    Ogre -- there's no markings on the fuse itself? Try taking a picture of it and then zooming in (either on your phone or with the pic on a computer).

      I finally got around to pulling the fireplace back out. My wife likes to have it installed, when we are staying in it.

      The cut off had to be removed to read the spec.

      Found a pk of 10 for $6 USD on line.

      I will post the results when they arrive.

        ​The 10 pc of thermal cutout / fuse came in.
        Since I do not have heat sinks here, I could not silver solder the fuse in, so I used two crimp on connectors to place the fuse exactly where to old was.
        Result, the unit works as is should, and has heated this 5th wheel over the few chilly nights. Altogether about 10 min. to install.
