    Fan should be pulling air up, not pushing warm air down. Is that the way your winter mode works?

    This will most likely stall the cold air blanket from sinking, unless you plan to open the bottom of the door up and place a large cold air return vent “facing” which would work better. We use a baby gate to keep the dogs out of the basement when we don’t want them down there.

    Yep it is pulling the air up.

    Thanks Eric VW! That's good info. I guess we will have to invest in another baby gate. I hadn't thought about it blocking the cold air.
