Dimplex RC01-008 Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : Dimplex

Model : RC01-008

Customers Fault Description : I have a fire that only works off the remote control, working fine, turned off one night and the next day wouldn't turn on, initially thought fuse had gone in plug, changed that, nothing, then though maybe batteries needed replacing in remote so did that - still nothing. REading up on the controller looks like the infra red is no longer working

 

This fireplace control arrived safely and on testing was sending a signal but was erratic and non consistent in the code being sent.

On opening the main issue was due to a cracked print around the joint of one of the capacitors, this was reworked which restored functionality.  The oscillator was also replaced as a precaution as they are notorious for failing.
