Fireplace Heater Chirp

When I run the fireplace heater I get a "chirping" sound about every 4 seconds. Anyone else have or ever have this situation? My Montana is a 3811MS.

To create the flame effect, there is a motor that rotates a metal brush thing that reflects light, and that is probably what is making that sound. Nothing else moves inside these units so that has to be the problem.

We had the same problem on our 3810MS. The rotating item that rohrmann mentions above was the problem. I removed the fireplace and unplugged it from the outlet then removed the back panel. I found that the rotating item was rubbing on its mount. It was slightly out of round which cause it to chirp every few seconds I was able to adjust it, the noise is gone.
Easy fix.

I'm glad somebody mentioned this. We have had the same problem intermittently over the past year. It never bothered us enough to do anything about it...except when we would be sitting downstairs quietly reading.
