Astoria Bay Pellet Insert Won’t Ignite

[AstoriaBayInsert2208]

Hello! This is the first time I have posted but have been using this forum to troubleshoot for many years. Ok so I have a Astoria bay pellet stove insert that is pretty old, must be about 15 years or more. Now when I start the stove, it faults and blinks #4 orange after like 20-30 mins of dumping pellets and doesn’t ignite any pellets. It overflows and shuts off. Ive cleaned this thing in and out for a few days and I believe the snap discs are ok, only tested them with a meter. The exhaust side snapper is open when cold but the other ones are closed. I guess it could be the igniter but I’m not sure how to test it prior to just replacing it. Any ideas? I wish there was a service manual available.

Thanks!

I am adding that I did confirm 120v to the two wires leading to the igniter. I’m thinking that’s the issue.

Welp. I replaced the igniter and it didn’t ignite even though 120v is arriving at the igniter leads.

Should not have 120 at both leads
