Changed the title hoping Mike, head tech at England Stove, drops by and sees it. If you go to www.heatredefined.com/e-2-failure-to-start it gives some tips. Igniter glowing? If yes, then likely air flow around igniter. There was another thread a couple of days ago about someone who had found rust forming and blocking airflow around the igniter. He had used a nail to break through the rust. Positioning of igniter in relation to the pot is important too. I know there are instructions for positioning igniter when replacing on the website in the troubleshooting section.

Always unplug when working in the cabinet ... don't need to add to the troubles by frying the board.

Hi did you give it a complete cleaning behind the steel plate that sits above your burnpot? You will need a leaf blower or a good shop vac with small tubing to get down in there to get it completely cleaned out from behind there as lots of ash that settles down behind there. Pic to show opening in back get in there give good cleaning top and bottom.
