Just moved into a new house and there's a Jotul Combifire 1 stove in one of the rooms. We fired it up last night and it works great but the door is very hard to slide under the stove. I checked underneath and it all seems clean and from the parts diagram it looks like there's 2 bearings on either side that ride in tracks. If it was a little difficult then no big deal but the amount of force required causes the entire stove to move which is unsat. Any ideas on what's going on or how to remedy?
Thanks much.
 
Get some silicone spray and spray the tracks and bearings liberally.
