General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: leaking hardy water stove - can you repair?

« on: April 01, 2013, 06:03:50 PM »

Good friend of mine has a hardy h2 about 10 years old (bought used) that developed bad leak . He took it to Outsideheating in Rocky Mount VA.
 They fixed his stove and he was pleased with their work

already bought another selenoid , but will go bigger if this one dies.
  i 'll  try oiling the gasket.
  i just hope the smoke that must be flowing back though the blower doesnt hurt it.

sorry , dont have digital camera handy. pipe from  under grates comes over to small fan, has a lid,"damper door" over the other side so air cant get in-in off mode. when aquastat calls for heat dormeyer brand solenoid pulls the lid open and turns the fan on to stoke the fire.
    smoke must be traveling through the fan blades , and getting goo , Creosote, on the gasket  during off cycle.
    wondering if i need a stronger or better solenoid INSTEAD of the dormeyer 2005-m-1???
     or is there a better answer?
