Electric Fireplace "isn't"

2018 3701 LK Our electric fireplace runs sporadically. Sometime just fine, others, no matter the setting, no heat output
"If" I understand, setting on HH ( high heat) , and temperature set above room temp, the fan should put out heat ...sometimes yes, others no heat whatsoever

Ideas, solutions, or any help is appreciated

Had a similar problem. Pulled unit out, filthy. Cleaned up, reinstalled, problem solved.

If you pull it out you may also find loose wires.

I have the same unit I believe. 2018 3701lk.
My fireplace works fine except for one thing. The fan. No fan? Or Fan broken? Either way, not much heat output.
Anyone have their fan break on them?

Loose or broken wire. My opinion.

Wf-48s electric fireplace

Is this unit suppose to come with a fan. I have taken the fireplace out. Has a single plug. Doesn’t appear to have a intake for air or fan inside housing.
Hence, if no fan then fireplace has moderate heat? Anyone else have the same issue?

Mine for sure looks about the same as that and there's a fan in the middle section where you've circled "fan". It only blows if the blower icon is set to LL, HH or Eco mode and the ambient temps are below the set temp.
