Ok Title says all the issue is there is no ignition I did pull the insert out to clean it and it was working beofore I cleaned it I did pull the exhuast vent and do the blower trick removed the fire bricks cleaned behind them cleaned tubes blew compressed air on motors pellets are dropping I noticed thermo couple is not getting hot reterminated thermostat stat wire on lugs still nothing
Help
 
So pellets drop, do they ignite? If you get a fire, watch the clear control box, see if any lights come on inside it.
If they are not igniting, take the ash pan out and watch the ignitor, see if it glows red within a minute or two of calling for heat.
 
Turn on the thermostat and make sure the call light is on. Check for power at the igniter. If no power, check the wire connections.
 
Vacuum line/switch plugged with ash from blowing the stove out is my guess! Any takers?
 
Ok update got it running I did 2 things reseated control box and cleaned out holes in pot kinda a bone head move but I think prob was clogged burn pot I mean i took the stove apart why unclog the pot???either way running much better burning right now ! Thanks for the input !
