I have a used Castile to assist in heating the upstairs of our house. It runs good and I have been slowly verifying that all of the blower, fans and sensors are working properly.
At this point I want to verify that the glass door and ash pan door are correctly sealing so I have a few questions.....
1. The glass door has what appears to be a pretty fresh gasket but it has been left open along the top edge of the door. Is this correct?
2. The ash pan door has a gasket all the way around, however if I look through the opening were the latch handle comes through (must lay of floor and risk singing of eyebrows), I can actually see the flames in the fire pot. This does not seem like it is presenting a good seal, is this correct?
3. I've heard of the dollar bill test but what exactly is this and what does it prove?
4. Is there a way to measure the vacuum draw in the burn chamber?
Thanks in advance for any help with these questions.
