Replacing XXV Igniter

[localbulldog]

The stove is clean - very clean. I get the 5 blink signal. After restarting the stove and clearing out the unburned pellets from the burn pot the pellets and the burn pot are cold. I think its the igniter.

How do I replace it ? The stove is a year old so I would think its covered but my dealer is probably two weeks to come out. Can I replace this myself ?

Thanks in advance.

dealer replaced mine after 1 year removed back panel of stove. right under burn pot is 2 screws remove
he than pulled out ignitor and guided the wires from the back of stove. it is in a holder had to bend a metal
tab to remove, after install took a few times before it lit. love my stove but i would think they
would last longer than they do.

My ignitor just went poof this past week.
What a PIA to start manually when I am so spoiled with an ignitor ;-)
Guess I cannot complain though, it lasted about 2 yrs.

My stove is still under warranty but part is on backorder and none of my
local dealers have them in stock. Guess it is a hot item (no pun intended)

Here is a link to some documentation that I have posted in the past. It should help you with the jist of what you need to do.

Good instructions, and valid for nearly every harman......the only thing I'd add, is that when done, you dab on some RTV where the wires go into the plug for a seal around them....pretty minor tho.

Dumb question...
Is the ignitor a universal part between the different Harman models?

Meaning-same part number?

That it is, Tink, yes, same number

The PC-45 model instructions are a little different. I think the igniter on the PC-45 is different altogether.

 

[Lousyweather]

yea, Codebum is right.....sold somewhere near a thousand stoves or so, onle one PC45...it does have a different igniter and installation sequence....sorry, tink!

That's ok....was curious about the pellet models anyway.
WHEN I get hold of an ignitor, I think I am gonna get two of them.

Hmmm....a buddy of mine is using his woodburner instead of using his Advance,
wonder if he would notice his ignitor missing..jk

with your luck, you'd probably snag the ignitor, only to have it fail days later!
