I just saw a gasket kit at tractor supply this weekend. After all this talk, I'm betting my gasket is close to shot. I did the match test a while back and didn't reveal any vacuum leaks though.
I put gaskets on my stove and it now works wonderful THANKS SOO MUCH FOR THE HELP

unruh,
Glad you are running well again. Replacing the ESP was likely a good move with the age of the stove but as you see the door gaskets were less expensive than the $70 plus probe depending on where you bought it. Your old one may still be OK. Did you save it by chance to gimp you along with heat when in a jam later possibly? Bio, Rona, and others here know the 45's well and they always recommend having some backup parts around. The ESP is a major player in the back up program. Either way for an eight year run you can not complain with replacing the ESP, although possibly unnecessary, and door gaskets.
One more quick and easy suggestion for you and Overlook both. Put your stove make and model in your signature on the avatar so others know what you have and can offer advice. You did put it in the thread title which was great. Stay Warm! When it warms up this spring and you shut the 45 down it might be time to look at some other quick and easy cheap maintenance so you don't get stuck next heating season. I went thru mine thoroughly with the help of people mentioned above. Stuff not mentioned in the manual and rarely thought of until you are sitting in a cold house with a broken down stove.
