The stove sat and would not light. Igniter was very hot, but pellets were not even discolored. The shield on the igniter was put on the igniter so it was between the igniter and burnpot. This was a new out of the box P61A. We pulled igniter out , flipped shield reinstalled and it lit normal.
 
Harmans made in China now?
 
I had a Harman Accentra insert put in 2 weeks ago, was having issues and when the tech came out it was the same issue.
 
Maybe it's a new safety feature to prevent fires. LOL
