Enviro Mini wont lite

[mcnuts23]

Hi all

I have an enviro mini about 6 years old and it has started to not want to ignite. it was not lighting then would again and now its consistently not lighting.
My best guess is maybe the igniter is in need of replacement. However I cant for the life of me find any how to videos or even instructions on how to replace the ignitor.

Help appreciated

Are you able to test the igniter with a meter? You should check that first. I will look for info on replacing.
Can you see it glow red? On mine I can't see it it is inside a metal case.
Get yourself one of those power meter plugs. You can watch the watts on startup and you will know if it is good. Should draw lots of watts at the beginning.

From the manual:
8. Ignitor- the pellets will not light. Everything else in the stove operates but the ignitor will not light the pellets. Make sure the burn pot liner is up tight and square to the ignitor tube by pushing the burn pot back against the ignitor tube. Check to see if the exhaust blower is operating. If not, contact your local dealer for service. Check the fuse on the circuit board. NOTE: The ignitor should be bright orange in color. If not replace the ignitor

First and foremost, is the stove clean from the firebox to the exhaust termination?
This means the front fire brick panel was removed and the traps behind cleaned.
Is the combustion fan working? Do pellets drop with the cycle of the auger?
Is the fire pot in the right way around? Long lip forward?
As Whitenuckler said, if you can test for a draw on the igniter

To replace an igniter on an Enviro Mini pellet stove, first ensure the unit is cool and unplugged, then access the igniter by removing a side panel or the rear grill and auger motor. Disconnect the wiring, remove the old igniter by unfastening its retaining screw, and install the new igniter. Make sure to line up the igniter and its vacuum tube correctly before securing it and reconnecting the wires, then reassemble the unit
