How do you replace a refractory panel on a fireplace? It depends on what type of fireplace you have. If you have a gas fireplace, you will likely need to call a professional to come and replace the panel for you. If you have an electric fireplace, however, it is a relatively simple process that can be done by yourself. First, shut off the power to your fireplace by flipping the breaker switch off. Next, remove the front panel of your fireplace by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. Once the front panel is removed, you should be able to see the refractory panel that needs to be replaced. Carefully remove the old panel and then replace it with a new one.
