I just bought a new AE 2008 (New meaning unused) and I am reading it needs many new parts to prevent new heart aches. These are the parts that I believe that I need to upgrade this dinosaur:
Info on my stove first:
I have a Torrington hearth stove control board
p/n 170-00-0198-H
S/S 170000198100802911
mfg 10/ 08 hearth; p/n 7000-456-rev c
Parts I am told that I should buy to replace my dinosaur parts:
firepot #srv7034-072 $137 Needed because it allows pellets to flow better
thermocouple #srv7034-247 $119 (is this the old model pre 2015?) Needed for thermostat to run properly
thermocouple
SRV7034-072B $119 - (what is the difference between SRV7034- 072B and SRV072?) Which item should i get?
igniter/380 watt #7000-647 $65 (is 7000-647 the correct model number for a 380 watt? or is it model SRV7000-462?)
Quadra Fire MT. Vernon AE / Edge 60 OEM Igniter- SRV7000-462 - 380 WATT - CORN (which model is better to buy?) igniter 300 watt #7000-462 I only burn pellets now, but I might want to mix with wheat or something else in the future . . . maybe. Any advice on which igniter to purchase?
Igniter is needed because the original part is so sub-par it may not work to the 3rd operation!
Quadrafire Mt Vernon AE Thermocouple Cover SRV7034-186 $25.39 (I'm told if the existing cover is ceramic, it must be pushed all the way against the thermocouple for it to work properly - i may not need this particular part, correct?)
control board #7000-323/#7000-456 $698 (is this part necessary to even replace? Or is this a dealer trying to make more money?)
