last week i posted that I needed a new a vacuum switch due to breaking it during a leaf blower clean out. Replaced it today and now my pellet stove turns on but there is no fire. The igniter gets warm and you see it getting red. I manually tried starting it but it filled the house with smoke and the fire went out! Any ideas of what it could be? I'm completely frustrated at this point! Please help!
 
Starting it manually should always work! Did you get the pellets burning good before hitting the start button?
Is the combustion blower running? If not, that might fill the house with smoke.

I left the pellets burning for like 5 minutes before I turned on the stove. Should I leave it burning longer before I turn it on?
