(Quad not lighting after 3 attempts)
This is your direct quote, not mine and I read it as not starting AFTER 3 attemps which is not what the poster said.
Didnt "Scim" the post. He stated the first 2 attempts were failed attemts. The Mt Vernon is Quads Top Tier stove. Why would someone fork out that much cash for a stove that wont light at the begining of every season?
Like any other stove model/make there are some gremlins. As you may or may not know the stove was totally redesigned based on some problems with the older stoves. The new stove had a slew of problems right out of the box. Many products don't work correctly right out of the box. I could name probably 5 stoves that have gremlins right from the start. The techs at the factory will not answer the question of why this is taking place, and yes they are aware of it. Like they do on all questions they refer you to the dealer and a Quad trained tech is the one that says its normal for certain model/model year stoves.
I never said it couldnt be what you say it is.. Unlike yourself who quickly dismissed my opinion. We all are entitled to one.
Yes. I did dismiss your opinion because you don't have any experience with the Mt Vernon non AE, and have not been through the trial and error that I have trying to get it to work in a very brief temp/time frame.
Get this model stove and do the trouble shooting and I would be open to your opinion..
Just does not make sense why Quads (yes mine included) use the same ignitor and only the Mt Vernon, Santa Fe, and Castile have this problem.
I will mention again that all these stoves are not built alike and have different component's and they all run/act differently and have different problems. Kinda scratching my head why you feel its perfectly fine to think that all stoves from Quad operate and run the same way.
I was not the only member to question this. There were others also.
Yes, there was one other member that doesn't own a Mount Vernon, non AE.
Again electrical devices do go bad. The possibility is there. Along with several other things (bad gasket, leaks mean less air through the burn pot holes/possible failing or weak combustion blower, not sucking enough air through the burn pot). I am open to any ideas until the.problem is resolved.
Please explain to me why the stove works properly after the cold weather sets in without adding/changing any component's at all.
It is in no way shape or form any help to the OP to dismiss an idea or opinion from another member, when it has not been checked. Only takes a minute to verify the operation.
I hope he gets it resolved. A unit should light when it is turned on. I know most members here who have an auto ignite stove, would hope that it lights when its supposed to. The unit should operate like the day you brought it home. If it does not... Then there is something wrong with it and the corresponding parts should be replaced.
Again this took place straight out of the box when these stoves were new, in most cases. It is problematic to take a stove back for a problem that will only occur for a very brief time/temp frame and usually can't be duplicated. Once the temp drops and the heating season gets going this situation goes bye--bye and the stove works as advertised. I am not saying this stove can't have a misfire in heating season but it is rare and I don't go searching for a reason. If it happens over and over then that is another story.
I don't go answering a bunch of other posts because in many cases I don't have experience with that particular stove. If I have known experience for a particular question, then yes I will state the facts, as I have done here.
No one will ever know because the OP of that thread is not responding.
I'm pretty sure the poster has asked the same question for the last couple of years on the IBURNCORN forum and got the same answer that I have given here. Ultimately its up to the owner of the stove on what to do. If a owner, such as yourself, wishes to throw parts at something that is a known situation go for it, its your stove.
