This is from johneh. All credit to him. Right ignitor failed. Check fuses and check wire connections.

FLASHING INDICATOR LIGHT SYSTEM​

The 8 heat level indicator lights on the Bixby Room Heater are also designed to act as potential problem indicators.
Whenever one of these lights begins to flash, consult the chart below for reason and recommended solution.
Light #1
Power failure during Room Heater operation: Push the "Off" button and then the "On" button
to restart.
Light #2
Operating temperature not reached: Push the "Off" button and then the "On" button to restart.
Verify fuel level in the hopper.
Light #3
Exhaust system or hopper area is overheating. Reduce the feed rate (see Troubleshooting
section). If problem continues, contact your Bixby Dealer.
Light #2 & #3
Empty hopper or potential blocked flue warning. Check hopper for fuel. If fuel is present,
flue (exhaust) may be blocked. Clean the exhaust portion of the Room Heater and the attached
venting. See Maintenace and Cleaning Procedures for details. If problem continues, contact
your Bixby Dealer.
Light #4
Room Heater door is ajar (open). Make sure the door is tightly closed. If the door is open for
more than one minute, the Room Heater will shut down. Contact your Bixby Dealer if problem
continues.
Light #5
Ash Drawer is ajar (open): Make sure the ash drawer is tightly closed. The Room Heater will
not start if the ash drawer is not closed. If the ash drawer is open for more than 20 minutes, the
Room Heater will shut down. Close ash drawer and restart the Room Heater.
Light #6
Exhaust fan failure. Contact your Bixby Dealer for service.
Light #7
Fire pot mechanical malfunction: Push the "Off" button and then the "On" button to restart. If
malfunction continues, clear jam in burn pot once cool.
Light #7 & #1
Left igniter failed. Contact your Bixby Dealer for service. The Room Heater will continue to
operate, but will take longer to ignite from a cold start.
Light #7 & #2
Right igniter failed. See above. If both igniters have failed (Lights 7, 1 & 2), the Room Heater
will not be able to autostart. See Manual Lighting instructions (previous page).
Light #7 & #1-3 Internal error - possible ignitor electrical fault - unplug Room Heater and contact your Bixby
Dealer for service.
Light #8
Feeder wheel failure. Open hopper lid, remove feeder wheel cover, clear jam and restart Room
Heater. If this continues, contact your Bixby Dealer for service
