Anyone here ever found an burner access door on a nat gas furnace glued shut. It is a 20 year old counter flow furnace with a vent blower pushing the fresh air into the burner compartment and through the furnace. The only sticker on this unit simply says RPJ. It's looks like a high efficiency set up but only has B venting?
I think somebody has had some pressure switch issues in the past because every wire or pipe opening into the burner box compartment has been plugged with wads of plumbing mastic......I was brought in to service it but after removing the 10 screws securing the burner door, I was unable to budge it in anyway short of needing to use enough force to probably destroy it.
I have dealt with plenty of burner door seals that stick after a number of years but this just stymied me?????
