 Hey everyone shape every 1000 here today tonight. It's kind of almost 11 o'clock We've got our Our little fireplace quit working But it's got power to the switch But it has no power after the switch The heat does not kick on and the flames or anything, you know It doesn't kick on So I'm not sure what's going on in here. I don't know if it's fused if it's this panel I don't even know if I can get this panel. This may be one of them things to where We have one here This one works but it's wider than this and You know this way and it's thinner this way If I can't fix this, I'll just strip it down and get what what I can out of it and You know to reuse on other projects and then I'll just fabricate this And to this fireplace This was free. I got it like five years ago four or five years ago I think I did a video on it but anyway, so I Got a table set up here My tripod and We're gonna take this out. This is not screwed in they're supposed to be screwed in but this would never was When this was given to me so I'm just gonna pull that out and we're gonna set it up here on the table and We're gonna take it apart See what we can do with it. Let's go ahead and take this out It's been in there for four or five shares. Let's kind of check this out I see some little screws up here. I see some screws in the back They're just full of screws and some cobwebs. I don't like that All right, let me get you set down here I don't know if I can take this front off to get to that right away or what so Let me study it a little bit and I'll bring you back when we get ready to take this thing apart Okay, guys, so this thing is a 2011. I've seen it on the back I didn't know this comes out, but There's three bulbs down here Got some ants on this table. It was outside sitting underneath the tree So I'm not sure a couple screws there to take this off. It looks like I'm not sure Screw under there screw under there Let's go ahead. Let's set this down For works, let's take this back off Because I know sometimes it would make a little noise from that thing that spins inside there I'll show you what I'm talking about here in a minute. It wasn't too bad, but it would still get annoying take a little Magnetic thing set it over there for screws Take this out. Yeah, this should work I Still haven't charged this thing I Did bring a regular screwdriver in case I got to break them loose first That's some little short ones. Actually, I probably she's my regular screwdriver so I don't Overdo that little tiny thing There's a short there's some on the sides here Yeah, just we had it running one night and I turned it off for her mom because they get cold got down 30s and Next morning monkey said Fireplace quit working So it's been highs. It's hot right now Alexa, what's the temperature? Thank you So Supposed to be nice this this week and then get cold again next week So this want to make sure like I said, we got the other one there monkey had that one when we got together Just going to see if we can fix this So it's not a necessity Feebo flow or feebo flame f e b o f l a m e now this This is what turns I don't want you guys are saying I didn't have my screen flipped so This is what turns Okay, and it gives the illumination of Makes it look like the fire is what I'm trying to say I guess This is the the heater blower up here there is a fuse here. I'm going to take a look at it Be nice if it was just a fuse but But let's see where's the switch switches right there, but I do see a fuse. Let me show you the fuse here Right there's the fuse So I'm gonna see if I can pop that out of there and see See what amp it is and see if I got one that'll work in there if it's bad. I don't know but like I said Everything else is not working. So hopefully it's not in that That thing down there because I'm not gonna put put any money in this, you know, so Let me see if I can get the screw out of here. Okay, I said screw, but I meant fuse I got my continuity here. We're gonna check and see if this fuse is good this way It should read all zeros if it's good. Let's see if I touch these together It'll come up all zeros. So that's what should happen if I touch this fuse it the fuse looks good, but Okay, so All right, so that could be a bad fuse. I may have to unsodder that let me look at it a little closer and let's see Okay, so in order to get this board out of here. There's four plastic pins that go through and Like here's one here. You've got to squeeze them together to push them pins out So I'm gonna grab a little perineed on those pliers and I'm gonna try to push them out those ones down there I'm gonna be hard to get to Way down and I know this is dirty and cobwebby guys, but look under your fridge So I Could probably test that but say I don't know what blew the fuse it may just be because it's you know 12 years old um, I could probably test it by Putting a jumper across there. I don't know if I want to do that But I don't how I'm going to get these ones out down here because they're way down in there. So Like get that board out of there I could let me see if I got a fuse like that I could Like lay it on top there and try it. I don't know Let me do some checking here. Okay, so I pop this side loose and I'm gonna Just twist this one Because I'm going to have to solder a new one in there And there it is. Let's see if we can see what size this is Looks like 15 amp just 250 volts That's not 250 volts 15 amp um If you look inside there I don't know if the camera can pick it up But there's a little wire like running through it. See it right there down the center from left to right um But apparently it's not in contact. I don't have one that short But I do have a a glass style fuse It's 15 amp I don't know what blew it It is a little dark right there. Maybe just time But let me see If I know I got a 15, but let me see if I got any short ones. I'll show you what I mean about that So if I touch this together It's simulating a fuse should go to zero So we've got this fuse here that looks good on the inside, but if I touch Them two together like that nothing Now if I take my good one Right there immediately jumps to zero This is a 15 amp Like I said, it's longer Than this other fuse It's a lumber fuse I thought I had some short ones, but I guess I don't but I think I got a solder that anyway. I think I can make that work in there I believe I've got enough room It's going to go Right in here So I could probably extend that wire Each side And uh Maybe put it right there or something. I don't know Okay, let's uh, let me study that some more. What would you guys then you know move that out some Up here out of the way Extend that piece of wire. I might try that Let me see what I got. I've got to get out my soldering iron anyway So we'll see what we can do with that Okay guys, uh, for some reason I wasn't recording But Let me show you what I did I took The little pieces of wire out of there Come on Kind of tiny I did find a piece that will fit in that hole It's just a spring out of a Out of an old flashlight just a spring Uh, so what I'm going to try to do is I'm going to try to use this. I'm going to straighten it out I'm going to cut it off where I needed to be Hating on things twice, but I didn't hit record And I'm going to put this up here out of the way So that's good that this is this is a little bit thicker But that's good because it's going to be longer uh This light here monkey got For my birthday years ago And I had it up in the attic When I was putting in the fan the exhaust fan up there and um well It stayed up there for a couple years Brought it down Now I must have shut it off before I came down but I came down Everything was working. I didn't want to go back up and she had this little lantern that I left up there A little lantern type thing and it stayed up there a couple years. I brought this down and this turned on so but anyway It's just a it's a crafting handy little light Magnetic thing You can't see it up there but so As you can see it's a little dark Around this area here So I'm going to try to reflow whatever that is It still feels tight So I might not even mess with it. I might reflow that bottom one. I don't know Um I don't want to mess around with it too much because you know my soldering iron's not the greatest so Let me get this wire Straighten out and cut off where I need it to be and I'll bring you back when I try to solder this back on Okay, that was a pain. I don't know how much you saw that But it's on there nice and solid No, it's not. Okay. Let me see if I got something different That that will stick too. Okay guys, so let's see If I can get This piece of wire soldered on to there Get some flux on there Make sure I hit record for the wire here. I'm going to dip it in the flux I don't know if I can get this Get it to stick to this piece of wire. I've cleaned it Sticking to the metal on the fuse, but it's not sticking to this wire I may have to see if I can find a piece of copper I'd rather use steel though Might have got at that time Might be a pain when I go to put it on the board though. No Doesn't help. I can't hold it steady Just not sticking to that piece of wire All right, let me try something else. Okay guys, here we go again I got another piece of wire. I found some wire this time That is the exact same size So you're looking down on top of this fuse that I've got standing up on its end Tend this tip a little bit. It's not doing nothing But it's hot Oh man Kind of a pain here Let me see if I can come up with something Okay, let's try one of my new alligator clips here And I've left this plugged in the whole time But what it does it gets up to a certain temperature then it cools down Then it takes forever to heat back up But that's the way they used to do them back in the day Okay, let that get cooled down And I'll do the other side off camera since you've already saw this one done Okay, so there's that one Now I'm going to do the same thing On this side Let me get a little bit of flux on here And I'm going to let it cool down a minute too because It's still pretty hot. I don't want to crack the glass Okay, so let me get that soldering on there and then we'll try to put it up here In the board That's going to be kind of a pain So let me see what I can do here. Let me show you what I got here 15 amp fuse so if this Takes care of the problem Or a couple of these fuses. They're not very much I don't think you can order just one but I had a bunch of these. I don't know what happened to them. So I do use them so what we'll do is If this works Then I'll just order me up a couple fuses and then uh And put the right fuse in that way. I'll have a couple extra Just in case so let's go ahead and try to get this Soldered on here And I'm kind of in your way guys, but now we should hold it while I'm getting Get some more flux here Yeah, and then then all I got to do is order a couple of them fuses Because I'm sure Because we've got two more of these things and they I'm sure they'll take the same fuse You know so And I'll have them Okay, so now what we're going to do I'm going to plug this in But I'm gonna I've got to get down in there and get these pieces of solder down in the bottom of there I'll get them out and I'll put this back in them holes Where it was We'll plug it in and if it works then I'll order some fuses. If not, I've got a bunch of cool parts here So let me get that solder down out of the bottom of that drip down in there. Okay, let's stand this up I want to take this core and I'm going to plug it in behind you to reach Okay Let's see what happens here guys. Yeah, can't get that plugged in All right, okay, didn't I see the lights on There we go They're dimming. Okay. That's what it was just a fuse so I can get a fuse And like I said, I'm sure the other ones take the same style The fuses and uh, I don't know if you can see the lights on yeah, you can see that Okay, let's see what happens when we hit heat And it's working You gotta see that That's heat low Cool that's heater off That's the lights off. Yeah, cool. All right, so I gotta do Order some fuses There we go. I spent almost two hours About two and a half hours looking for the right fuse because I know I had them and I had a couple The right length but One was three amp And one was one amp and of course that takes a 15 amp And like I said, it's funny because inside there I can see I can see the The actual fuse itself a little wire inside there a little it's not really a filament But there's a little wire inside there that I can see So it must be up here on the end somewhere Where it's broke So anyway, yeah, that's pretty cool. So that is a success. It is a fix Well, I don't know it's not I mean, it's working. I just don't want to leave that that fuse in here Simply because it's not the right one So once I get the right one, then I'll put the fuse in the original style fuse that goes in it. So Yeah, let me go ahead and get the uh the sides and The the screws down the sides and get that back panel on and I'll be back with you cool I think I know I know why it blew that fuse I got a whole bunch of dust Out of up in here Where the heater is where the fan is I got a whole bunch of dust out of there. So You know, of course it was heating up, but it couldn't cool itself off So I think That's what it was And I can tell a big difference the way it's blowing out right now. So yeah, I think that's what it was Cool. Okay guys. So to me that's a successful fix. You know what the problem is um I could probably use that fuse in there forever But I want to put the right one in I found them online on amazon for Eight dollars and fifty cents for ten of them. So that's probably the route I'll go That's plus shipping. But so you're looking at about a buck a piece. But like I said, I got two more of these That take the same style fuse and I have another electric heater in the garage Um, it takes the same style fuse too. So You know, that'll be fine Um Yeah, it works another success So anyway guys, I appreciate you watching a little screwdriver thing away here. Love that thing and um Stay tuned for more videos and fun times Thanks for watching guys. Shave it or the myth man legend. I'm out of here for now It's two thirty monkey had to come out and Nib nos and see how I was doing and so she's happy that we Got us got to figure out what's wrong with it So like I said, we still got it got the other one there in case it gets cold until I can get them if you use this Uh, if I had to I can yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with using this It's not a big deal to me. But Uh, so we do have the extra one there We used it the other night and it did all right And uh, this one's 1500 watts. I'm not sure what the other one is This one's 1500 watts. So Uh, usually like below 700 watts. I think it's like a five amp fuse And then uh like to a thousand watt and then anything over I think it's a thousand watt I think they jump up to like 13 amp that one. I know is a 15 amp So and it's 1500 watts. So that thing really kicks out some heat So, I mean, it'll keep this whole front of this house and her mom's bedroom warm Uh, with no problems. So yeah, that's what we'll do Still working We'll see you guys in the next one. I'm getting tired. I'll get this video edited We'll do some more fun stuff here shortly We'll see you soon. Bye bye guys and take care
