Accentra -- freestanding. Looks like my igniter has failed. Has anybody replaced one? I don't know if the wires plug into it or if it is supplied with wire leads.

I dropped it down and cleaned it and the burn pot surfaces but it does not heat up. Rest of stove functions OK.

I remember there was a shortage of them last year.

Trying To Keep Warm
 
The ignitor should have leads attached to it Called hot leads as they have the High temp silicone and fiberglass insulation.
These leads get connected to the cold leads Regular MTW wire on the outside (backside) of the stove.
When you disconect the leads at the back of the stove tie a piece of string to it and pull the ignitor out of the burnpot, the string will aid in feeding the new hot leads back through the hole.....
Cold leads need to be outside of the fire chamber.....
