This is the second season I've been using the stove. It worked well last year and I used it about 6 times this year, but now it won't ignite. It doesn't seem like the igniter is kicking on. The light under the on button flashes for a while then goes solid. I've cleaned it, both during the season, a better post and pre season one, though i could be missing something. I'm hoping the igniter didn't go bad, but wouldn't that be weird? If anyone knows something I missed(I checked the manual), please let me know.
 
Sounds like my 6041. The ignitor stopped working on mine the third time I used the stove this fall. I've been manually lighting it until I get time to call US Stove and see if they'll work with me since its 2 months out of warranty. I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.
 
From my experience, and from reviews of US Stove products, the igniters are failure prone. The igniter failed in my window unit in about three and a half months.
