I need to know if the igniter is supposed to come on in test mode. Mine is and may be why I am blowing fuses. Is there a dip switch setting to disable the igniter? Attached is the burnpot and igniter I replaced in November. Igniter was fried again in December. Is the Diagnostic tool available for the control board? Thanks

P68 does not com on
 
I wonder if your igniter is not turning off? I have seen where the relay on the board sticks closed and igniter stays on. Even when the stove is off... I have never seen a burn pot destroyed like that

Kill a Watt will show if it's pulling Current.
I use mine on every call. I plug it in and turn to room temp and check igniter then turn to test mode to check all the motors. The most handy tool I have.
 
Thanks for all the input. I disconnected the whole circuit to the igniter. Stopped blowing fuses. NOW I am running into an issue when I set for room temp say 70. Pellet drop 4, manual mode. It starts out fine. All motors doing their thing. Pellets dropping. Fire start to crank up and pellet's stop feeding. If I wait a bit for fire to die down pellets will start to drop again. Almost like overnight stove temp mode.

This is what I have done over weekend.
Disconnected Igniter circuit.
Cleaned ESP.
Brushed flue 3 times. Nothing came out.
Replaced door gasket, failed dollar bill test. Tight now.
I did not replace screws where igniter cradle was or block off back of stove where wires came through. Grasping here , Leaking air form those points.
Wicked lost on this one.
