Igniter Issue

[Colonel Potter]

Hello everyone. New member here and I'm hoping for some help.

I have a PelPro wood pellet stove and the igniter isn't working. The light on the control panel lights, but the igniter does not get hot (new igniter). I have verified that the igniter work by plugging it directly to a socket.

I have read posts that say it may be a fuse. I have an Accutron II control panel and cannot find a fuse on the back.

I checked the connector for the igniter and I have power coming from it with the stove off but plugged in.

I hope I provided enough info to get some help.

Thanks in advance !!

Bill

Welcome Bill. Is this a new stove to you or something you've had for a while? If you have had it for a while has it been unplugged all summer and do you have it plugged into a surge suppresso when running.

This is a stove that I've had for about 7 years and last spring the igniter went. I replaced the igniter with a new one but that one doesn't get hot and glow red.

I have had the stove plugged in all summer while not in use and have had it plugged into a surge suppressor since I first bought it.

I've had some people say they think the bad igniter may have blown a fuse, but I can't find it and was hoping someone could tell me where to find that fuse

Thanks

Are you sure it is the correct replacement part.

 

[Colonel Potter]

I'm pretty sure it's the correct part. It looks exactly the same and plugs directly into the original stove connector. I can check the part numbers just to verify though.

Thanks

It may just be a bum ignitor even tho new if all else fails try another one

Looks like the fuse is in the upper left corner. It has cover or possibly a fuse holder type holder. Unplug stove, there is still electricity in the capacitors so be careful. Check it with a meter even if it looks good.
