The other evening the heating element on our fireplace would not heat. Yesterday morning it worked, but later SWMBO said it stopped working. All the lights come on, just no heat. I suspect a loose wire making intermittent connection. Even though the manual said to have an electrician do any repairs, including changing the LED bulb, I thought I would try to take a look anyways and see if it is something obvious. Which brings me to the problem, how to access the fire place.
From the manual, it looks like the glass front should be removable by pulling on the top of the panel and then lifting it out at the bottom after it rotates. We've pulled on the top of the panel as hard as we dare with no success. I was able to lift panel up slightly and we pulled again with no success. Tried not lifting the panel all the way up and pulling, still no success.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get the glass panel off? Once it's off, it looks like the mounting screws can then be removed and the fireplace pulled out of it's opening. Is this correct?
