QuadraFire 1200, Igniter won't heat

[roundsound]

Using my multimeter with hot tip to igniter leads and cold tip to ground (also tried every other combination, terminal). 0 Voltage and cold igniter when the stove is started.

I have the grey control box and it flashes green when I plug it in. About 1 flash per second. Call light is red. Everything else seems right. Auger feeds pellets, etc.

The stove was lighting yesterday but would shut off after a half hour or so. I'm just getting the stove running after about 2 years off.

Thanks for the help.

If the wires from the control box to the ignitor are OK, then that leaves the control box itself. I'm not sure what else it could be.

Just measure the voltage between the two ignitor wires.

put direct power to the ignitor its the fastest way to find out if its good if it gets hot you have a bad control box or a bad fuse in your control box

Thanks for the help everybody. It was, indeed, a bad ignitor. I pulled one out of one of my old 1000 Classics and it lit right up.


Again, thanks
