I have a Harmon Insert, i52.

I notice one side is blowing hotter then the other sides. Any idea what can cause this?

Thanks,

Tom
 
How long since a thorough cleaning?

Well, I thought I had done one and then saw a video on YouTube last night on how to do it. Let’s say what I was doing was nothing compared to what I should be doing and am in the process of doing today.

I took it apart and what a mess back there... it’s mostly done now, the left side was so clogged and as I was cleaning I was getting a wet sludge type stuff but only on the one side? Any idea what can cause that?

I’m on my way home now with the brush and rod to finish cleaning now!

So after a big, messy clean its still blowing out hotter on the right side then the left. So frustrating.
