Trying to locate replacement parts for my gas wall heater
I HAVE A VULCAN ELECTRONIC GAS WALL FURNACE. THE AIR FLOW VANES HAVE LITERALLY MELTED AND ARE WARPED BEYOND USE. THEY HAVE JUST FALLEN DOWN INSIDE THE CASING. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY REPLACEMENTS?

If the furnace made a clicking noise trying to turn on and then makes the BANG noise at the furnace, it’s most likely a delayed ignition. Imagine a room full of gas and then someone decides to light a match. Big problem. That's what’s happening in your furnace if the ignition of gas is delayed.
A variety of issues can delay the combustion of that gas. So the gas builds up in the furnace until—BOOM—it ignites, causing a mini-explosion. This can harm the heat exchanger, which is very expensive part to replace. Some causes of delayed ignition includes:
1. Dirty burners
2. Flames are lifting away from the burner outlet due to too much primary air
3. Too much gas
If you're handy enough to understand what I've said then burners can be cleaned/replaced, and primary air can be adjusted. With some units gas flow can be adjusted as well; other times the gas valve will need to be replaced.
If you've no idea what I've described, GET HELP before you ruin the heat exchanger and have a more expensive problem on your hands or worse...
