I'm readying to get a jump on next year and looking around for someone to come in and give my '03 55SHP-10 a real good, deep cleaning. It's my first year with it and I'd like a dealer to do my first cleaning while I look over his shoulder so I can take care of it myself next year.

My question is, who do other Englander owners use for maintenance and service? Do you go through Home Depot/Lowes or an independent shop? I tried calling the local shop in my area and since they do not sell Englander products they won't do the maintenance.

Again, I'm going to do this myself in the future, but just want a "pro" to take care of the first one.
 
I would do your research here and do it yourself, it's not very hard and you will learn more about your stove.

As a englander owner I agree with others do it yourself,it's really
Not bad at all.why pay money to watch someone do it?
 
I'm actually close to Moore twp.often order up a gasket kit pick a day and I'd be happy to walk you thru it
 
Pay close attention to the left side behind the baffle plate the lower hole bottom side of the heat exchanger

This is going back a bit...but would you still be interested in giving me a hand?

Just for laughs I called Wood Heat, Cozy Barn, etc. and none of them will touch the stove since they don't sell Englanders. I'm not even going to bother with going to and dealing with Depot...since that will only end in total frustration.
 
I just might take you up on that!

You guys talked me into it. I'll give it a shot myself and save some $$.
You will do a much more thorough job! I did exactly what you were proposing and was frustrated to watch the service tech do nothing more than a basic cleaning, did not get into the blowers at all. I learned the proper steps to perform a true deep clean by others experiences that they shared on this forum.
 
Rig a 1" piece of vinyl or garden hose to the end of your vac. Duct tape will work. Use it to snake in and clean the chamber behind the impingment plate behind firepot. Particularly the bottom right corner.
 
call ESW support discuss the process with one of my techs 800-245-6489 8-5 M-F eastern time.

if you are looking to regasket the unit we have kits for that this time of year (early bird kits we call them) also ask for the service DVD which is free and will take you all the way through the stove.

This will definitely be my next project when I get back from vacation. Thank you.
