I have a Harman p68 pellet stove. All the lights come on, feeder feeds and blower blows but no ignition. Not even any sparks. Any tips? I live in Alaska and the stove is our main source of heat in the winter, need to get it working before it gets cold.
 
Sure sounds like your igniter went south. Have you cleaned the igniter cavity lately? Is the area getting heated up at all?
 
How old is the stove? Have any voltage tester? Does the igniter light come on? If the stove is couple years old the igniter may be done.
 
May be adding salt to a wound, but ever practice a manual start?

it's all i ever do, handful of pellets in the burn pot, turn the knob to test and back to wherever it was at and the blowers run looking for heat, then hit it with the mapp gas for about 30-45 seconds and close the door.
