Great, thanks for the suggestions. I will try the lubricant tomorrow afternoon as it is supposed to be warm here. In the meantime I am going to call ESW and get more feedback. Thanks again.
Silenced38,I believe last year. Enlander told me that it needs a few heat cycles to break in the aas spring. But mine was still eratic at the end of last season.
Ok. Thanks. Ill call and see if mine is covered.Silenced38,
If you stove is not under warranty anymore and you would like, I will take a picture of my current damper system when I take it off, next to the new one so we can all see the difference. I remember hearing something about ESW adding a counter weight on the piece in the back. You might be able to add one once you see where it should go. I will do that as soon as I get the parts in this week.
Hmmm, I do vaguely recall the "bump" quirk the first time I really fired it up during the break-in fires. So mine is probably afflicted too. It did work correctly on a reload but come to think of it--the metal had probably expanded by then, so it's probably more of a cold-start issue due to the metal having not expanded enough (and an additional weight, if that's all the new damper has, would potentially solve that).Sorry to hear that. Ive called three times and all technicians say, "I don't know much about that stove yet because its a new item." I told them exactly what was happening. I light the fire, get a good coal bed, restack the stove and use the actuator and wait. Nothing ever happens. I have to bump it in order for it to work. That shouldn't happen. He is the one who told me I have a faulty actuator in the air lever system. Again, when I get it, I will post a picture of it vs what I currently have. If nothing happens, I am going to attempt surgery myself I guess.
Yes, the counterweight can be adjusted with it in the stove. The straight head on the screw is facing out. I am even thinking of putting a bit more weight on it if it doesn't work. Let me know how it goes for you as well.Thanks for the update! Can that counterweight be adjusted with the damper in the stove or do you have to pull the whole thing out?
Sounds like I'll just try the graphite one of these days and see how it goes.
Yes, please stand by for the picture and an explanation.Thanks Mike! Can we get a picture posted of the correct assembly and position for the tab?
