Now you're making me nervous even more, one brand new unit that leaks already and they agreed to replace another without knowing for sure it's leaking, basically you're telling me i can expect my unit to leak anytime, thanks. so you're telling me they are no good, i know that now especially when it comes time to honour your name. Yeah right , they are gonna replace a brand new unit without knowing for sure it's leaking but they won't replace a $100 thermostat on my furnace that got damaged by snow getting in the top corner twice already. Really i know you're not telling the truth, even my dealer told me that they don't cover anything and to replace a unit without making sure it leaks(between 9k to10k) yeah right. As for replacing the unit, hahaha, they will try to weld it first i can assure you of that.
nice try.
EMPYRE MEANS NO WARRANTY
while were at it, its not like empyre lost a 9k dollar unit. Since they already had a truck there, those will be brought back and updated, they didntnlose nothing but made some really good business decisions. To update the stoce that was basicallly new would be an easy task, I think anyone would be glad to see someone be proactive in a situation like that.
as far as trying to weld it?? Umm no, once again you have assumed u knoew what type of leak that it was. It wasn't due to a crack or a bad weld or anything a welder would help. It was caused by improper spacing and condensation gathering in cool spots behind the refractory on the early xt models... this condensation would become very corrosive because it stayed eet all the time and created a very acidic spot in the stove. So trust me, when it started to leak, no welder was gonna patch it, even if they could the "problem" was not solved
now does that sound like a liar?? I dont think so
this problem has only been seen in the early xt models, ive never heard of it or seen it in any pro series stove. This is why the fireboxes on the xt series are now 304 stainless and have a slightly different design than there early siblings
empyre has also began to produce some 304 stainless pro series 200's to continue to be proactive, like I said, ive not seen that issue in the pro series but I can't fault them for trying to build a better product either
