    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...

    My MT Vernon AE woes

    Hey y’all, I just discovered this place and wish I had a year ago. I was given my Mt Vernon AE last year so I figured a $4300 stove was a pretty good score for free. From the first time I’ve ever fired it up the dang thing shocks me. I’ve been all through it looking for shorts and I’ve found...

    Quadra Fire Mt. Vernon 2009 temperature set to 82 and heats to 70

    It's cold out - probably 20's - and my Mt. Vernon cannot keep up with the set temperature of the room. I tried to set it at 76 but it barely gets to 70. It's fine on a warmer day. So I set it to 82 hoping it will at least get to 74 - Nope. Any advice?
