    Dimplex Opti-myst fires

    Does anyone own one of these and have you had a problem like mine? My 'wood burner' stove stopped producing the 'smoke' vapour a week before Christmas and although I tried the usual cleaning and checking cables etc, nothing worked. I've tried it a couple of times since with no luck, but to-day for some reason, it miraculously sprang back into life and started working again ! Am I alone with this ?

    Apparently not.


    Information useful for troubleshooting your problem.



    No mist is being produced when I turn on my Opti-myst

    -Firstly, check that the water tank has sufficient water so that the sump can be filled and covers the transducer.



    -Ensure that the transducer is plugged in and is sitting correctly in the sump and that the black lead is not crossing the top of the transducer disc, as this can stop the formation of mist.



    -If the above steps haven not fixed the issue, it could indicate that the sump fan has failed. To confirm it is working correctly, remove the water tank and mist nozzle, and then gently insert the small cleaning brush (supplied with your Opti-myst) into the air outlet from the fan housing located on the top right hand side of the sump. If the fan is working, a sound will be heard and a vibration felt.



    -Finally, check that all four lamps are fitted and working.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks Styx.
    I went through all of the checks you have mentioned, but no problems with anything other than I couldn't feel any vibration with the small brush inserted into the fan outlet. However, I still can't even with it working again. The lights have stayed on throughout, so no problem with them either. Guess I'll just have to put it down to 'one of those things' and be grateful it's running again.
    I just love lazing in the chair watching the 'flames'
