tube fell out - englander NC-13

[perry]

the front secondary tube fell out of my englander nc-13 while a fire was going. does this mean the stove is flexing from being hot. and what should i do to correct the promblem. the tube is to short now to reinstall. should i get a longer screw with a spacer to keep it to stay in ?. ....... thanks

for know i put a couple washers in there to hold it in better. all 3 tubes are the same length and they can only go in one way. i noticed the mounting tab is welded a touch over and its making it short on the one thats falling out.

Had the same problem last year. Yes, just put a washer or nut behind the screw to keep it in place. Simple fix but maybe the guys at ESW can learn something here.
