removing the fireplace

[Capt Kidd]

I have an 2011 3400 and want to remove the fireplace to clean it as it does not put out heat like it did in the past. I can't seem to see any way to get the fireplace to come out.

Has anyone else done this and if so how?

Removal is a simple process once you locate the screws that hold it in. They are very difficult to see but there should be one in each corner that can be spotted using a flashlight. They are not concealed but are not readily visible either. Good luck.

Yep do a search(Fire place removal) and you will find many posts on this (I few I have done) it is not hard just a little time consuming,If your's was like mine you will see alot of dust and Pet hair etc... and while you are in there tighten all the Connections as they get loose after a few years

Mine had a wood frame around it that had wood dows that stuck up about an 1/8 inch that had to be removed. Take a knife and pop em out then 4 screws held the fireplace in.

I have a 2009 Montana. Trying to pull the fireplace out. No power & I’ve Che checked the circuit breakers. Took the 4 screws out to take off the wood frame. Now I’m stuck. I see nothing to unscrew or unhook to pull the insert out. Ideas

My fireplace was extremely difficult to pull out. See the sketch below for what turned out to be the reason for the difficulty. This does not happen to all who attempt to remove the fireplace - some report it slides out very easily. This is just what I discovered. Also you can read more and see pics of my experience in this thread...
