I finally broke down and took advantage of warm weather today to replace the door gasket on the old Dovre Aurora, I had changed it years before and did it the same way as before, left the door on, did it right there like last time, pushed it in with some firm pressure but not too much, it is a very thick gasket but that's what the stove calls for and I had a big section of it downstairs so it has to be the right one from before, adjusted the door so it would be as loose as it could thinking I'd start loose then tighten it up but it was a helluva war getting it to the point where I could even get it closed and it is WAY too tight now, no way I can use it like this! I have no idea what happened, we didn't have this issue before, the stove has two hex bolts on the right side that you loosen and move the hinge plate to where you want it to position the door, I have it as loose as it can be yet it still is so super tight. I fought with this thing for hours, trying and trying again, got it as loose as I can see it to be and forced it closed, maybe from staying closed overnight it will compress somewhat but I am not happy leaving it that tight under that pressure.
If you see something that I am missing please chime in, the latch on the left side also is as loose as it can be, I don't know what else to do, but it can't be like this. I know this is the correct size gasket, I don't want to put another thinner one on but what the heck do I do to get this door closed?????
And with the language that I used I am NOT getting any Christmas gifts tonight or for the next 10 years.....
Thank you
