Hello world, I am new here and seeking guidance.

I am tired of having to manually light the pellet stove and would like the igniter to work as intended, it does not turn orange or seem to heat up at all. I've done some research on parts and purchased an igniter off of amazon, the 50-1067 model number. I started to pull apart the pellet stove to get to the back of where the igniter sits. after moving the blower out of the way i was able to get the t20 screws loose holding the igniter. When I finally unscrewed what i thought was the back of the igniter, it looks like it detached from the actual stick part of it???

I'm inexperienced with a multimeter (electricity current tester) and I barely know how to use a screwdriver :P On top of that i'm not sure i even got the right igniter, doesn't really look like the old one...

Are there any tips or guidance, I would really appreciate it as I do not want to spend a fortune to have a tech come out.

btw date code on the stove is July of '01. This stove is setup in a game room that is not used more than 10 times a year and I don't run the pellet stove all that much because of igniter issues.

That is not your ignitor that is your Exhaust Temperature snap switch. Ignitor should look like below picture and is located behind your auger motor. Watch video not your exact stove but most enviro's ignitors are in the same place.

AS ARC said, not your stove, the placement is the same as yours
have to remove the auger motor for easier access
Welcome to the forum
 
And please give her a good cleaning, looks like she could use some tlc, that convection blower looks pretty gummed up. Thank goodness Enviro ignitors last a long time, they are generally not easy to get to. On my EMPRESS FPI, she was difficult to get at. On my EF3 free stander, never changed it the 7 years I had it, man what a solid stove... good luck.

How old is your stove ?the early models like mine 1997 ish had a pin type igniter which pull out from the front of the stove (where the burn pot is ) it has 2 pins on the end that plug into a socket inside the stove
