Greetings All,
Stove was due for a minor cleaning, so did all the obvious stuff. Removed the plate under the burn pot and vacumed it out best I could. For the first time, got my nose down close and tried to see how dirty it was up in there and saw that there was a metal plate with a latch holding the igniter in place. Of course I slide the latch open and it came out and was able to see the igniter and saw that it was pretty clean (stove only 4 months old). Hit it with the vacume just to be sure and then went to put latch back on. OMG, what a freakin PITA, stupid thing would not go back on. Anyone else have this issue? An hour later, I finally got the thing back on by bending one of the metal tabs the the latch plate slightly.
Now for the kicker, during the fight, I dropped the igniter out and then put it back in a few times. It seems like it only goes in one way. Now everything is clean and back together and go to start it up in room mode and walk away. Come back in 10 minutes and I have no power light and the stove is dead. Checked the breakers and none are tripped. (note: stove is plugged in a plug built in to the back of the enclosure behind the zero clearance box, no UPS, no surge protecter. No lectures, I found out after it was too late and have not addressed it yet).
Why would moving the igniter kill the power to the stove?
