Has anyone else had the tension spring break on the side door of the new Hearthstone 8022? Is this a common problem or just a rare fluke? Otherwise the stove has burned great for us this year.

I actually replaced one. Then I replaced that one. Then I replaced it again. After I got the last replacement spring . . . I kept it in a safe place.
