50-93 Door

Hi all,
I sold my home and my 50-93 went with it. I just purchased another used one last night. One of my issues is that the door does not close very tight and the glass can be wiggled. It looks like the previous owner did something wrong with the gaskets. Can someone tell me how and what I need to fix this or if something is missing. Can someone post a picture of their door so I can get an idea what a good one looks like? Thanks in advanced!

Welcome to the forum... looks like a poor job replacing gaskets and not the correct ones and size. Contact Dean at Hitzer directly and he will get you what you need for installation.

Your door gasket is trashed--R&R glass gasket--that gasket in my door has been there all season. If that don't help--the latch stub needs to be WHACKED back--it's an old stove soooo, old tricks won't hurt it--do this while ya got the door off---plenty of PB Blaster on screws holding glass in--you'll still maybe bust one--re-drill & tap.. use never seize & swap to lil hex bolts. Don't know if pix helps----3/4 gasket on door & standard flat gasket on glass. The door will be tight but she'll work herself in. Try just gasket before whacking that stud. Yeah, he did a TERRIBLE job on the glass gasket!!! LOL

Thanks a lot for the picture and the feedback. I'll do exactly what you said. And you're right it is a horrible job he didn't even complete the gasket all the way around it looks like scrap pieces LOL

He's probably trying to give the 50-93 over fire air. The Harman "Mark series" stoves have over fire air on that order.
