My woodmaster 4400 fan quit, heard it moaning When I stepped out of the house, went and looked at it it and made a screech.....game over, drove a couple hours to Nashville, Il to Kessler Hardware, great people, bought a new fan, back on...all good.
Question: I wanted to get the water circulating again and heat back on, also make sure all is good. The old blower had a thin gasket, no gasket with the new one, and I did not use any gasket material.
Going to watch for runaway temps next few hours.
Do I need a gasket? Or, gasket material between blower and the door?

I personally would recommend a gasket. Metal can expand and contract enough to eventually have a gap large enough to have an air leak there. It is good insurance anyway. Mine has a tiny flat rope seal gasket like our doors use. I'm sure you could even use a small bead of high temp rtv to keep the air out as well. If you decide to go that route I'll send you a picture of what I use for rtv. U can pick it up at a large hardware/outdoor store.
