The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop.

Like any other household appliance, electric fireplaces can wear out after about 10 to 20 years. With more frequent use, the parts will wear out quicker, and you may get just 7 to 10 years out of a well-loved electric fireplace. Fortunately, electric fireplaces come with a lower upfront installation cost compared to alternatives like gas, so you can install a replacement for less.

It depends on the specifics of your warranty. The motor is likely not covered if you’re working with a limited warranty. The same goes for other components like the compressor and evaporator coil. Some extended warranties will cover the blower and fan motor, so read the fine print before signing up. Additionally, the manufacturer may offer a warranty for the parts, including the motor, though there’s likely to be a strict time limit for this coverage.

Many modern appliance brands make small appliances meant to be replaced rather than repaired, but companies like LG®, GE®, Maytag®, Kitchenaid®, and Whirlpool® stand out as high-quality brands with repairable products. Many of these companies even employ technicians who repair large and small appliances alike, and manufacture replacement parts to make repairs easier. If you’re unsure if it’s best to repair or replace your appliance, ask a professional appliance technician about the brand and specific model.
