Englander furnace Cracked at welds

[mopar969]

Okay so i am ready to fire up my englander 28-3500 furnace for the first time and was during some checks and cleaning it up when I noticed that the welds at the bottom of the door was cracked. Is this a big issue. I have seen this issue on the forum before but mine only split at the weld not the metal. What do I do? and what did i do to cause this?

I wouldnt think its a huge deal but i would consider grinding the weld out and re weld it sometime.

I would contact the England people if it were my furnace.
Yes I have a 28 3500 my self.

I noticed the same exact thing on mine this year.

I love the stove and for me it doesn't seem like the actual metal has cracked and I have only owned it for three going on 4 years. So I am going to give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. I will post and let you guys know.

aaronmach1 do you have pics of what yours looks like?
