How can I get the flames in my electric fireplace to work again?

chrys_folly questioned:


My electric fireplace gives off heat, the fan works but the flames won’t flicker and go anymore. They just look like they are frozen in time. Any thoughts on how to get them moving?

   It sound like you need to replace the flicker motor that rotates a rod with fingers on it.
   As the motor turns that rod it simulates the effect of flames flickering.Thus the term flicker motor.
