Hello,
I was given a working April 2005 Mt Vernon pellet stove and am in the process of cleaning it. The previous owner said it made a lot of noise so she didn’t use it any more. I discovered that was probably due to the two marbles that I found in the blower fan assembly.
I’ve got most of of the stove cleaned up except I am unable to remove the top panel in the fire box. It lacks the 5/32 drive Allen screw mentioned in the earliest manual I can find. Looking at it, it appears the top panel is supported in place by the right side panel. I unscrewed the Allen screw on the right side panel (image attached) but am unable to remove the right panel either.
Does anyone have any recommendations how I can remove either of these panels?
