Hello Wise Men and Women,
When I opened my stove to make my second fire of the season, the damper gasket came loose as I opened the damper door to start the fire.
I don't recall having seen this gasket before, which leads me to believe that it must be stuck on the fireback wall that surrounds the damper.
Parts # 1203588 and 1301805 on the VC Pdf parts replacement diagram, which I can't seem to find a link to.
It is hanging on one side, and preventing me from having that final click when I close the damper to lock it in place.
Is this gasket usually on the damper flap itself and I never noticed?
How to re-glue it, or replace it? If its on the back wall cast iron surround, must it be removed to re attach it?
Don't think I am up to such a repair. With heating season quickly arriving I am bumming with this development. I keep the stove in good
shape, replacing firebrick, other gaskets etc. This has me stumped and a bit "Oh No!!".
Ideas, Information? Encouragement?
Thanks,
Donna
