I replaced the destroyed combustion chamber and the furnace fired right up on the 1st attempt to light and was still running 5 minutes later. I set the heat to 60 degrees and am going to let it run till Saturday to ensure it works fine.
I had a hard time with the screws at the very bottom which are also in the very back. My impact driver magnet was not strong enough to hold them the distance. I used a retrieval magnet tool that small and round and extendable. Placing the head against the head of the magnet then making sure the swivel connection was vertical I was able to start the screws into the holes, then use the driver to tighten them up. This made the job go very quick! A person must make sure the swivel connector is vertical as the magnet is strong enough to swivel the end of the tool upward attracting to the bottom of the furnace as you get to the back area. Just a neat tip for someone.
