Any ideas what could be wrong with my Lotus? I've been loving it the past couple weeks, but yesterday I noticed the screen on the bottom looked like it had gotten pushed up/in some. I also noticed a few days ago what looks like a straight line/small dent in the heat plate, but it didn't seem to impact the function, so I left it alone until I noticed the screen.
As I understood it, the whole thing is able to be disassembled, because I've seen the refresh kits. I took it apart, noting the position and placement of each piece (there aren't a lot, and it's obvious how it goes together). After fixing the screen and reassembling it just doesn't seem to be working quite as well, I've noticed an observable difference, and now my hot plate looks darker than previous.
I'm wondering if I blocked some kind of hole somewhere and cooked the heat plate too dark (does this do anything other than color?) since there was no airflow. I'm wondering if a refresh kit would fix it or if I need to reassemble again, but I can't find what I may have done.
I hate the idea I've done something to mess up my zebrano Lotus, but I don't think I've done anything that isn't fixable. As long as I can preserve the wood/green layer I think I'm fine?
EDIT: I definitely cooked the plate and I've got a new one on the way. Wasn't sure that could happen and I definitely hit it with a bigger torch than I intended to a few times lately. Lesson learned.
