How Do I Reset My Dimplex Fireplace Remote Control

How to Reset Your Dimplex Fireplace Remote Control

If you're having trouble with your Dimplex fireplace remote control, resetting it may solve the issue. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

1. Remove the Batteries

Start by removing the batteries from the remote control. You may need a small screwdriver to open the battery compartment.

2. Press and Hold the Power Button

With the batteries removed, press and hold the power button on the remote control for about 10 seconds. This will discharge any remaining power in the remote.

3. Reinsert the Batteries

After holding the power button, reinsert the batteries into the remote control. Make sure they're inserted correctly, with the positive and negative terminals aligned.

4. Aim at the Fireplace

Once the batteries are installed, aim the remote control at the fireplace. You may need to be within a few feet of the fireplace for the reset to work.

5. Press and Hold the Reset Button

On the back of some Dimplex fireplace remotes, there's a small reset button. Press and hold this button for about 5 seconds until the remote beeps or the indicator light flashes.

6. Test the Remote

After resetting the remote, test it to see if it's working properly. Press the power button to turn the fireplace on and off, and adjust the settings as needed.

Troubleshooting

If you're still having trouble with your Dimplex fireplace remote control after resetting it, here are some additional troubleshooting tips:

Check the batteries and make sure they're fresh and properly installed.
Try cleaning the remote control and the fireplace receiver with a soft, dry cloth.
Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the fireplace receiver.
If you've tried all of these steps and the remote is still not working, you may need to contact Dimplex for assistance.
