All of a sudden, I can't open the door of my eclassic 2300.  It's not locked (I've checked).  Am I missing something I should know?  Supposed to get a little nippy tonight.  Fires raging inside.

Anybody ever have to "take the door off" via hinges or anything??

Thanks,

Tim

Thanks, Paul, but it's not "stuck", there's something wrong with the mechanism.  Any thoughts on what to do?

Does the door have hinge pins? Well I guess that would have been worked out by now. I guess grab a heavy crow bar. And do a John Candy scene from "Uncle Buck" when we was washing clothes. Ya dats a good one! Ya dats a good one!

Guys,

Thanks. I called Central Boiler today.  They were very helpful.  Rare case of a (poorly designed) pin in the mechanism.  Requires the removal of the outside sheetmetal.  Lots of screws and sort of a hassle.  Got 'er done, though, and all's well.  Whew.  Thanks for the ideas.  Am so happy we got that resolved.
