I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with there CL5036 boiler mine will periodicaly spike to over 200+ degree's, Ive checked my door and there is a bow in the top & on the side of the door latch that bow's out. Is this commen I have checked with a T-Square and its Bowed. What do you think would be the normal replacement time's of the door gasket seal. thanks

I haven't had that problem, but mine is new. How old is your unit? Might be something I need to watch?

A new gasket kit will probably help. but it won't straighten out the door.

We have had the boiler going on 3 years I believe Ive had this problem the whole time, Its weird it doesnt do it all the time. Sometime's I come home the boiler is empty sometimes its 200plus degree's,  Im not knocking this wood boiler in any way I really do enjoy it great heat coming out the vent's and a lot of hot water.

If the door is warped, I would definitely be calling my dealer for a replacement door before you burn up the entire unit.  It's just a matter of time before you ruin the water bladder or pex tubing.

Just an added note:

Every time I go out to stock I wear gloves (workman gloves) after stocking and before closing the door I run my hands over the door edges to remove any creosote that might have accumulated since my last visit. I also run my hand through the daft door shoot to make sure it's clear. If the unit is not in a burn cycle I "flip the flap" a couple of times to loosen anything that might of accumulated there also.

When stocking, keep your wood 6-8" away from the door.

So far no issues.

The other day I came home the boiler was 200 degree's granted its gotten colder now, I'm going to make sure the Damper plate is sealing good tomorrow and offer to buy another rope gasket from my Dealer. Im starting to get the feeling he is avoiding me not returning e-mails when he once did, I'm going to call him tomorrow also. Every time I mention the door he act's like he is having to pay for it.

I can promise you if I called my dealer about a warped door, he would insist that I get a replacement because those high temps will ultimately wreck the boiler or your pex tubing, either of which would be a real large expense.

[Ridgekid]

Does your have the Heat plates that hang on the inside of the door?

Why would it hurt his pex tubing?  In non pressurized systems all the pex I've seen used is rated up to 240, he can't get it that hot

The 180 rating u see n some pex is rated at 100psi

I got home today from work and found my boiler at a nice toasty 201 degree's, I called and left e-mails today with my dealer that I want a new door, also my damper plate appears to be slightly bowed.

I talked to my dealer he say's he will be in my area Sat.  We are going to look at door and the damper flap he might have both with him. Ill let everyone know how it went.

My dealer that I bought my boiler from is supposed to be coming by Sat 1/21/2012 we have talked about the door & the damper I think there are issue's with both. Ill report back later

My dealer didn't show up Saturday, I did not really expect him to since it was raining all day.  But he could have called me and told me was not going to make it

If it is covered under a manufactures warranty I would call and send a fax to cb, you should not have to wait because you have a lame dealer
