Ingiter in line fuse keep blowing

Hello,
I have a Whitefield Advantage II T wood pellet stove. Yesterday the igniter stopped working and I found that the in-line fuse was blown. So I picked up some 125v 6a replacement fuses and this is what I have:
Upon start up, with a new fuse, the ingiter begins to glow then goes out after about a minute and the new fuse is blown. Tried 2x, same situation. I checked and there is continuity but only 14.2 ohms of resistance, I read it should be around 45??
Pretty sure the igniter is sour but would like affirmation before I start throwing money at the stove.
Thanks,
:question: lighting manually.

Yes, the leads were disconnect when checking the ohms. All wires from main board to module to fuse to ingniter look good. Wierd how the igniter starts to work than the fuse blows....Thanks, anything else?

Thanks all, any suggestions like generic vs. factory or a good place to get one? Appreciate it!

Hey y'all. Found the igniter at a local shop for 125 USD. Put the new one in and she fired up with a new passion for life!! Can't thank you enough, y'all deserve a cold (or warm) beverage.
