Looking for some answers, I have an Accentra Insert that has been working well until last night. The stove failed to ignite, did not show any errors and kept feeding pellets filling the ash pan? Board? ESP? Igniter?
 
the staus light wont indicate anything until after the 3rd iginition attempt (50 minutes or so). I suggest dirty igniter, or failed igniter.
 
Is the burn pot clean? its possible there's not enough air in there to ignite.
 
Try manually lighting the stove. If that works, you have more evidence to take a closer look at the ignitor.
 
Mine has done the same thing from time to time over the past 6 years I've had it.

On one occasion, the igniter was shot. Replaced it and all was good.

Every other time build-up in the burn pot seemed to be the culprit. A good cleaning and things were back in order.
 
the staus light wont indicate anything until after the 3rd iginition attempt (50 minutes or so). I suggest dirty igniter, or failed igniter.
I'll try a new igniter tonight, I still don't know why it kept feeding pellets, I've only been using it for about two weeks, It shouldn't be dirty but I will check ESP
