I’m thinking they will prorate you a new one. That’s a pretty big hole to patch. I didn’t know JB weld made any hi temp stuff. Speaking of warranties I found three broken Dewalt tape measures that have a life time warranty. Problem is I have no idea where my receipt would be.
Who keep receipts, and if they do where do they get put for those smaller items. They way they code things on the receipt hard to tell what it was for to begin with.
Just tell them it was January, something , 2018. Cn read the day but it wasa1? something I think. Hopefully they won't want the receipt or a copy of it.
Where did you find the Hi Temp JB Weld paste? I have looked for it for cannot find it down here.
I'm usually pretty good about keeping receipts, Jim and Rog, but blew it when I bought the furnace back in 2018. Smaller things like Jim's tape measures, I probably wouldn't have. A person would think that a Dewalt tape measure could be returned to any dealer without a receipt. Will update on the furnace below.
I found the Hi- Temp JB Weld on Amazon. TSC has it a couple of dollars more.
Not heard of thos hi-temp JB either!
I got that Hi-temp JB at Ace Hardware. It was 10 bucks for that small container. The clerk that told me where to look was wrong. It wasn't with the glues, sealants and fillers. It was in the automotive section.
The filler was hard as a rock this morning, good thing since it had gotten down to 31F out in the lift bay.
The patch looks a lot better cured than it did wet.
It's been running about 4 hours now and it's up to 45F out there now. Tall ceiling and lots of junk to warm back up.
Called Mr. Heater. I was on hold for about 45 minutes before someone was free to talk to me. I think the guy was stoned but we got through it. He mumbled a lot and sang to himself while looking stuff up. My phone doesn't work in the shop. He asked me what the serial number was, and I told him the sticker that says serial number was blank under it. After a couple minutes of me trying to understand I finally understood where he said to get the number from. Had to ask him to hold while I went to the shop and wrote it down I needed to have a neck like an owl to try to read it and owl eyes wouldn't have hurt either. The little sticker does not say it is the serial number. I took the pic after being on the phone as I had to leave the phone in the house. Gotta clean up some cobwebs!
Fortunately I had written it down correctly! He looked it up and never asked about a date of purchase. He said it was still under warranty. Then after I listened to him sing and hum some more, he asked my name and address. Gave him that info and he gave me an order number that I had to repeat back to him as I wasn't sure what the he!! he said---LOL! Then he told me if the new heat exchanger is not there by 12 working days from tomorrow to call back and use that order number. Maybe I will get lucky and not have to use the number and the weather will be a little warmer to bring the furnace down and repair it! It pretty much has to be gutted to put the new one in.
Oh, I do think the guy was American but high as a kite! Then he was quiet so I asked if we were done it was like he didn't want to hang up although he wasn't very talkative---LOL! Should be here by March 3rd from what I figure. Hope the repair makes it that long. I will shut the furnace down during the night until it is repaired.
