What's wrong?
The recalled equipment is the plug in remote control receiver used with Dimplex Electraflame, Symphony, or Optiflame electric fireplaces, stoves, and fireplace inserts in 2002-2010 Breckenridge travel trailers. The receiver is the small electrical device that takes the signal from the remote and switches the fireplace on or off. In normal use, it should pass power without building excess heat.
On affected trailers, that receiver can overheat while it is plugged into the fireplace circuit. The filing does not identify a separate failed trailer part; the concern is the receiver attached to the electric fireplace equipment. When an electrical receiver overheats, the issue is unwanted heat at a powered accessory inside the living space.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a sound, smell, display message, or visible change from the fireplace to confirm whether the receiver is affected.
