Flame Action Control Replacement
If the replace was operating prior to servicing allow at
least 10 minutes for light bulbs and heating element to cool
off to avoid accidental burning of skin.
Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
persons.
Replacement Procedure:
1. Remove the rebox from the mantel.
2. Lay unit on its back.
3. Remove the 12 Philips screws that fasten the bottom
cover to the rest of the rebox. There are: two (2)
screws on each side; two (2) screws on the back panel
(you may have to tip the bottom of the rebox up if it is
laying on its back), four (4) screws in the front directly
under the control panel; and two (2) screws on the
bottom of the rebox (see Figure 8, page 10). The
bottom panel is now free to be removed.
4. Locate the Flame Action Control and Potentiometer
mounted on the left hand side (Figure 12).
5. Pull off the Flame Action Control knob and unscrew
the retaining nut (Figure 12). The Potentiometer
can now be removed from the panel by pushing the
Potentiometer through the front panel and remove from
inside the rebox.
6. The Flame Action Control board is fastened to the
underside of the Ember Bed support by four (4)
mounting studs, one in each corner (Figure 12).
Squeeze each mounting stud’s clasp to release the
circuit board from the rebox.
!
NOTE: If mounting studs are damaged, replacement
mounting studs will need to be inserted from
underneath Log Set Assembly. Follow steps 1 - 6 of
Mirror Replacement procedure on page 9 to do this. It
is recommended to attempt to release the control board
without cutting mounting studs.
7. Properly orientate the replacement Flame Action
Control board and push it onto the four (4) mounting
studs (running the connecting Potentiometer wires
under the board where possible) until the clasps of the
mounting studs snap the control board into place.
8. Properly orientate the Potentiometer attached to the
replacement control board, push it through the front
control panel and anchor it in place using the retaining
nut removed in step 5.
9. Disconnect one of the wire leads from the original
control board (which are still connected to parts
within the rebox) and immediately connect it to the
new control board’s terminal, matching its position.
Continue with the remaining wires (there are four (4)
wires which are piggy-backed together in pairs, and the
cable connector which leads to the Flicker Motor) using
the same procedure.
CAUTION: Internal wiring and colors may not be the
same within the unit being serviced as those shown. To
avoid damage to the unit, damage to property or
personal injury, ensure wires are reconnected to match
their original locations.
10. Follow steps 1 through 3 in reverse order to reassemble
the rebox.
