My Montage is 2.5 years old, never had a issue with it and then today, it refused to light off. Ignitor wasn't even slightly warm. I am guessing the ignitor is bad but I am not sure if there is something else that is keeping power from the ignitor. Any help would be appreciated. Has anyone changed the ignitor? Is it difficult?
 
2 ways to test the ignitor:

If you have a volt/ohmeter, set it for ohms....disconnect ignitor leads and test across them....should be somewhere around 40-50 ohms if it's good.

Or, if you can make a "power test lead" out of an old lamp cord, connect to the ignitor (insulate the connections!) and plug directly into 120vac wall outlet....the ignitor should glow after a minute or so.
