Having problems recently getting the fire to start. Cleaned the stove and blowers, and today put in a new igniter. still wouldn't start without putting in fire starter and restarting it. getting the E2 error, which generally just means it didn't light soon enough. Looking for more suggestions?

For Englanders the igniter has to be placed correctly. Centered, up far enough, burnpot clear of ash. I don't have this stove so maybe someone else can assist.

The igniter must have a standoff, which allows air to pass the tip to light the pellets. If the igniter rod is positioned too close to the hole into the pot, the air cannot get past the tip to light the pellets. Adjusting the igniter back to allow for a larger air gap should correct the problem. You want about an 1/8 of an inch from the end of the rod to the back of the hole. Make sure the hole is clean too
