What's wrong?

The recalled equipment is the plug-in remote control receiver used with certain Dimplex Electraflame, Symphony, or Optiflame electric fireplaces, stoves, and fireplace inserts in 2004-2008 Elite Living Quarter trailers. The receiver sits between the outlet and the fireplace power cord. Its normal job is to accept the remote signal and switch power to the fireplace without requiring the owner to reach the unit controls.

On affected trailers, that receiver can overheat during use. The available filing identifies the overheating receiver as the defect, but it does not give a separate root cause for why the receiver overheats. The problem is in the accessory that controls power to the fireplace, not in the trailer frame or living-quarter structure.

There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should treat unusual heat at the receiver, outlet, plug, or fireplace power cord as a reason to stop using the fireplace until the recall repair is complete.
