Greetings,
My 2 year old Vermont Defiant is broke. The fireback was cracked from top to bottom. The Fountain assembly disintegrated.
I obtained the replacement parts, at great cost, since there really is no warranty.
I pulled out the old stuff and had to yank the damper to get everything out.
I'm having a heck of a time getting the damper back in place.
Problem is, the steel rod activator has to pass though a hole in the stove and, at the same time
you have to align the damper to the back. Doesn't seem to be possible. In taking it apart, the rod
sort of falls out of the way.
Any help on re-assembly would be mighty fine. I'll go insane if I have to take the whole thing apart!
