Door Gasket falling off...

Hello all, I have a quick question.I just started burning coal this year, on my new Reading coal furnace I just noticed the gasket coming off of the door.It was fine for the last month and a half until I replaced both of my stoker motors this morning and the thing started throwing off massive heat compared to what it was doing.Is it possible it is too hot and just melted the glue? It did literally melt the glue.I don't know if I should run it tonite or shut it down, the gasket is still on but it is completely loose on one side and half of the bottom....thanks Adam

I wonder if your door is leaking air and that is why your fire is out of wack. Did you call your dealer?

I used furnace cement.

I think you may have used the wrong cement - you need gasket cement

Gasket cement is sticky, furnace cement isn't. Try gasket cement.

It's what the coal stove dealer said to use. I'm pretty sure I saw a tube of the same stuff in a seal replacement kit at Lowes. Anyway, it's still stuck on tight after a week of use.

efm uses spray contact cement. I spray two coats inside the groove, wait a minute, and insert the rope gasket.

You would think that when the unit is fired that the cement would dry up and the rope would fall out, but it doesn't. It's a mystery to me.

I fixed my problem. The new motors ran so much better I really had to turn the feed rate way down.I went and bought some of the gasket cement and I am good to go!!....Adam

I remembered after I posted that water glass is also used as cement for rope fiberglass gaskets.
