Gents

Is there a manual or video on How to open up an EFM AF to get at the Heat exchanger to clean and vac it?

I believe mine is block, as my chimney is cleat but the furnace is not drafting.

Thanks.

Your heat exchanger is shot! You are endangering yourself and family running it. If you are getting a coal/sulfer smell then it needs repair. They don't make replacement parts for that year anymore. Haven't in a long time. They make replacement parts for the newer style. They don't fit into the older style. Please find an EFM repairman and have him go thru it.

Try hunting the EFM section...
Some talk that the new tops may fit certain bottoms...
The AF150 EFM Automatic Coal Stoker Furnace
You should post your quandary in the EMF section...
For better results for your specific questions...
As it is all about EFM... ;)
