Anyone replace the gasket?
I noticed the inside of my ash catcher pan has been collecting water, cover on or off. The gasket surrounding the grease tray enclosure looks like it needs replacing. I contacted Weber since my EX6 is still under warranty. They asked me to show them the part I needed from the schematics. No gasket is listed?
They asked if I am having issues holding temp or food not being cooked as desired. No trouble there. I do mention that I had trouble with an auger burn back into the hopper last year. I asked if the issue with the gasket could have contributed to the burn back I had. The rep asked me to submit photos so they could review my issue.
They reviewed the pictures and said they would be sending a replacement auger motor (This contains the welded chute as well as a replacement auger, a replacement motor, and the necessary hardware, Welded burn pot & pellet slide) would resolve the issue.
No mention of the gasket I requested. lol Not sure if it's included but doesn't sound like it. I will be asking.
I want to stop the water intrusion. I was thinking of using Permatex Ultra Copper max temp RTV to seal the gap around the grease tray enclosure. If I just replace the gasket I'm sure it will fail again. Any suggestions?
