Modern Flames Fireplace Remote Not Working

Troubleshooting Modern Flames Fireplace Remote Not Working

If your Modern Flames fireplace remote is not working, there are a few possible causes and solutions you can try.

Check the Batteries

The first step is to check the batteries in the remote. If the batteries are low or dead, the remote will not work. Replace the batteries with new ones and try again.

Clean the Remote Sensor

The remote sensor on the fireplace may be dirty or obstructed. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab to clean the sensor. Make sure that nothing is blocking the sensor, such as furniture or curtains.

Check the Fireplace Power

Make sure that the fireplace is turned on and has power. If the fireplace is not turned on, the remote will not work. Check the power cord to ensure it is plugged in and that the circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped.

Reset the Remote

If the above steps do not work, you can try resetting the remote. To reset the remote, remove the batteries and press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Reinsert the batteries and try the remote again.

Check the Remote Range

The Modern Flames fireplace remote has a limited range of about 10 feet. If you are too far away from the fireplace, the remote may not work. Move closer to the fireplace and try again.

Check for Interference

Other electronic devices in your home can interfere with the remote signal. Turn off any other electronic devices that may be causing interference, such as cordless phones, microwaves, or baby monitors.

If you have tried all of the above steps and the remote is still not working, you may need to contact Modern Flames support. They can help troubleshoot the issue and provide further assistance.
