    Mt Vernon not igniting

    I have read a number of threads posted here over the years, but I can't seem to find one that matches my issue. The stove igniter stopped working and, since I always carry a few spares, I replaced it. It still didn't work, so I did continuity and resistance tests and all passed. I checked...

    Thelin Providence Insert igniter

    I have a Thelin Providence insert and it seems like the igniter went out on it. There seems to be very little info about this unit I can find online and none of the people I've contacted in my area (Northern California - 95033) know much about it and/or want to work on it. I'm not even sure...

    My Vernon AE Control Board

    I have a Mt Vernon AE manufactured in 2007 that may need a new control board. Local shop wants $779. I found one on eBay for $350, but the part number is SRV7000-456, not the SRV7000-330 in the manual. Anyone know if this is a viable replacement part? History is I replaced blown igniter last...

    Pelpro PP60 - won’t ignite

    Hello, We bought a house last year with a pellet stove. It worked great all last winter, but currently it won’t ignite. We checked the igniter fuse, and it still works, as does the snap disc. We have cleaned out the stove, and checked the fan. Otherwise I’m not sure what else we need to do. Any...

    Jotul sparks, doesn't light pilot

    Like my thread says, my free standing GF370DV igniter will spark and not light. Yesterday I turned it on and off 6 times and the pilot never lit. I took the glass off, put a wire in the pilot 'gas ports' , put the glass back and it lit. When running it always lights and runs fine. Today, same...

    Harman XXV (NotTC) Igniter LED does not light on startup

    I'm not really a pellet stove guy (woodburner). This is so I can help my elderly mom get her older XXV repaired. The LED on the control box for Igniter does not come on when stove is turned on. Does this mean igniter is shot or shorting out the circuit? It's not clear in the manual what this...

    Hi guys, new here. I moved into my home 3 years ago and the previous owner has a Englander 25 previously installed.

    Igniter Holder Broke off of Burning Pot

    I have a Classic Bay 1200 insert wood pellet stove. The igniter bracket came off of the burn pot. It looks to me like it was welded directly onto the burn pot. I can't believe how this could come off. Has anyone every experienced this? I am wondering if I can do some sort of patch with a...

    My Englander pellet stove will not light

    I have an Englabder Pellet stove, model 25-PDVC. It was working fine last year when I shut it down for the warmer months. When I went to start it up this year, I found that I had a bad vacuum hose and switch, so I replaced them. Now the stove will not light. The igniter glows with no problem, I...

    Bosca Stove Problem

    We have a Bosca pellet stove that has worked well for seven or eight years. Last year the igniter gave out midwinter. For the last part of the season we often had to light the stove using firestarter blocks for the outdoor grill. A few weeks ago we hired the local chimney sweep to come and...

    Enviro Replacement Igniter Alternative

    I've had an enviro mini for almost 10 years, and have gone through 3 igniters. Not really complaining about how long they last, since my long "shoulder" seasons have me running the stove often in the on/off mode vs always-on high/low mode. The price is my concern. The most recent on-line...

    Harman P35i Alleged Igniter Problem

    We were having an intermittent problem with our pellets not igniting and just piling up and overflowing and had the guy who did our installation come out. He said it was the igniter and that the Harman igniters often go out after just a couple of years. However, we have had no problems on that...

    England pellet stove igniter stuck on.

    My England wood pellet stove igniter stopped lighting up so I order a new one and replaced it. This igniter works but stay lit even when stove is turned off. I'm hoping it's not the control board. Any thoughts?
