This is more me venting and complaining, but I tried for over 2 hours to replace the ignitor in my 2008 Enviro Milan, with no success.
What a horrible design. I hope they have improved the access to the ignitor in the newer models.
I got the bottom screw out no problem. But the top screw is close to a welded on mount for the auger, so there is no room to get a screwdriver, or even a small torx ratchet in there to get the top screw out.
I have seen the video on replacing the ignitor in an Enviro Empress, but it is just not the same access as a Milan. Even if I dropped the auger, the mount for the auger is still in the way, and there is no way to remove the mount. I really wanted to replace this ignitor as I'm tired of lighting the fire in the burn pot manually.
Am I missing a trick, or a proper tool to remove this screw?
