Englander Short on Welding NOT! "Now with pics"

[pelletizer]

I response to Sydney1963's post yesterday of "Can I ask a favor from the Englander owners out there? I posted this thread about air blowing out on the floor,

If I sit in front of my stove and run my right hand about 6” along the right side of the metal base near floor there is a spot were air blows out onto the floor? hmm

Well I found the hole about the size of dime and it looks like a weld was not completed under the right side of the stove in the corner were the side of the stove meets I guess were the room air blows through.

High temp Heat tape to the rescue, Anyone else have this air leak?

Pelletizer, I got right down on the floor with a flashlight and I don't see any holes. You are talking about the front of your stove aren't you? I checked under the lip and all along the bottom, left and right side. No holes.

Check it out, should of seen the looks I got while taking under stove pics! :smirk:
Wonder if any other fellow Englander PDVC owners have this issue if it is an issue?

Ahh, I have the same exact thing. Relax. And take that tape off.

I never noticed it on mine, and of course I just left my Sister's house where the stove now lives. I'll need to remember to check it out when I'm there next.

If you are talking about a hole under the front of the stove, there are two. One on each side. They provide the air for the window airwash. They are also why you hear the moaning sound until the stove heats up.
