Econoburn 100 - Damper issue

[FullCircle]

On my Econoburn 100 I can't push the damper handle in more than a couple inches and I can only move the turbulator arm part way down. It feels like the damper handle is hitting something inside.I have had this unit for 10 years and have never had this problem before. Any ideas?

Have you cleaned it inside?

Sounds more like it's jammed somehow.
Take the rear upper cover off(where you clean the boiler tubes) and inspect.

Yes, agreed on the jamming. But was thinking that being jammed with creosote would be the first thing to ask on or rule in or out - as we don't know anything about how it has been run or maintained.

It's cleaned weekly and the turbulators are cleaned before each winter.

I think that's what I'm going to have to do. It's too cold right now to shut it down but I do think your right.

It's cleaned once a week and it's opened up in the back and cleaned once a year.
