Based on the statement you are throwing an 88 Code, I am guessing you have a Furrion model, something such as the Furrion RV Electric Fireplace # F30SW15ABL . You need to check the vents on your fireplace and ensure they are clean. Inadequate airflow will cause the fireplace to throw an 88 code. You may have to slide the unit out of the wall and make sure the vent located on the top of the containment box is not too close to anything that would limit airflow. Additionally, if you use this fireplace solely to heat up your trailer, it may also be causing the 88 code to trigger due to overheating from the fireplace working overtime.
