yes its about that. I don't know if its the insert holding it or the notch they have cut into the new damper. My old damper looks much different.
are you talking about the notch on the right where the rod connects ? I believe mine has the notch I did not get the little silver spacer ..... but I'm doing pretty much the same thing with the paper clip....I just slide it up or down on the left hand side I'm actually using a 4 penny galv finish nail bent around back on itself squeezed up enough so it has a little friction with the door edge...I'm getting better results with the coaling.....I'm tweaked open about 3/16.......... My line of thinking is this if your chimney is pulling .06 .... .06 has to be allowed in... and if it doesn't get in the draft pull would have to be affected... I'm thinking out load here and could be totally wrong..... by the way I purchased this furnace in july so maybe some mods had all ready been added......
That notch that cut out in this picture.
yeah mine has that I think that clip is what's holding the door open at least I think so
This is my original one.
yeah mines like the new one you got less the clip , which could have fallen off I suppose ..... Its seems to me they are fixing some of the problems and not letting us know......Also the fan snap up on the top of the stove works far better for me also
That's one thing they should do is let us know. Once we register it they should contact us with any updates and send us the parts. They have some communication issues. I got snotty with them when the baffle broke last because I was emailing them and three different people were answering the emails and each time there was a reply they wanted the serial number and copy of my receipt again. I told them they need to keep better track of the registered serial numbers and emails and that I wasn't going to supply them my receipt again because I did it twice in the previous emails. It's a pain in the butt to have to go to Menards website and find the right order, print off the receipt and scan it back in.
yeah that's my thinking also..... My hope is to get the bugs worked out before this winter is over I'll know more when I get my draft meter and see where the chimney is at.....Good info Wisneaky.. I'd say keep an eye on the clip that its not giving to much draft...... jmho they should have had a way to adjust the damper from the get go....thanks man
Your welcome. I checked my draft after installing it and backed the baro down some to compensate.
Yes mine hangs up occasionally but I have also adjusted the rod a little because it was making a lot of noise while the damper opened. I can't seem to find a happy medium.
The automotive companys do the same thing, if there is an update for a problem, they will not let you know unless it is an actual recall, unfortunately that's just SOP with most companys now. Most of the time you have to actually call the company and/or take the vehicle (or whatever) to the dealer and complain to get the update
