Hello,
This is our second season with our E-Classic 2300 (we moved into this house in the middle of last winter. The boiler was manufactured in 2008.
We've noticed over the last several days that the fan doesn't seem to be coming on quite as readily as it has in the past. Wondering the shelf lives of these fans; we received a quote for $275 for the part and we are considering swapping it out.
It was in the thirties here yesterday but returned to normal (cold) temps last night; packed the wood, went to bed, and went out to check on it at 4 am because the house was cold. Temperature had dropped to 96 (!) and the wood was blackened but not really burning. It's not the oldest wood, but definitely not green. We cleaned everything out yesterday so there was not a great coal base going into the night but can't figure out why the wood wasn't burning.
I just went out now and the temp is slowly climbing; it's at 134 now and it's 10 degrees out.
Last thing--- there are green icicles that have formed along the side of the furnace and there appears to be a small trickle of liquid coming from the cap on top down. What is this from?
Sorry for all the newbie questions; my husband and I are learning a lot. Love the wood but troubleshooting can be hard.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
