Put water to it but it leaks any ideas????????hehe, I don't like warm air but this poor thing didn't deserve this.Roof leaked onto furnace and killed it,if it was a boiler at least we could just change the jacket,base collapsed as soon as I disconnected the plenum.

    drip,drip,drip

    I beleive the flashing around the all-fuel is leaking and the A/C coil pan was plugged.I'll be on the roof next week with my laxonite & brush.Nobody wants to do preventive service.Next week I hang a new one 12 feet in the air in a car wash at the same building.And repair a third in a service bay.It's right on the tarmac of the state airport.Windy and cold,but it pays the bills and then some.Dave
