Hi I used a Castle Serenity in my trailer for 3 or 4 years and then built a new house so I slid the thing down into the cellar where it sat for 3 years. I pulled it up last week and tried it and it went thru all the phases but did not ignite. The pellets were warm. I assumed it was the igniter so got a new one. I did notice that the original was flopping around and found that one piece of the two retainers had fallen out but I found it and put it back while doing the new one but it does the same thing. Now I looked in the back while it was starting up and the igniter glows at first but once it goes to heating mode it appears to be off so I figure there is some electronic problem? Seems strange but probably moving it or sitting for so long affected something? seems to be working in reverse. Bought at Home Depot. Can these be repaired or is it not worth it?
I should add that I did not connect it to the the chimney set up I installed as I just wanted to see if it would fire up before connecting everything and then having to undo it, it would be hard to work on once connected
