I purchased a home with a Forces air wood burning furnance. I have replaced all seals, stove pipe, combustion motor. Everything goes well untill main blower kicks on. I notice theres air blowing in to my fire chamber from the
big blower and then my house fills with smoke from the vents. If anyone has suggestions I thank you.
Model Thermo Pride WB-16
No longer in production

Since the furnace is out of production, I am flying blind. The combustion small blower was missing, so I replaced it, and it bolts to a chamber that feeds the fire. There was no type of gasket with new motor. Could I be getting leakage since the motor is mounted right above main blower? Do they require a gasket or high temp sealant?
