millhouselives said:Hi,
Please excuse me for jumping in here, but I just logged on and saw this post. I have another post about my ignitor (under my username millhouselives) issues, but wanted to just quickly ask Burning Chuck if you happen to know the procedure for replacing ignitor in Harmon Accentra 2 stand alone.
Last week I was searching thru forum and did find one post where someone mentioned they would send out instructions on how to...but of course now I cannot find that post..
thank you,

Carefully pull the igniter out while feeding the Blue and Yellow wires into the black rubber grommet at the rear of the feeder assembly. A few inches behind the igniter there will be two connectors. Unplug the old igniter and plug the new one into the Blue and Yellow wires.
Note: Your new igniter may or may not come with the mounting cage - you may need to remove the old one and install the new one in the cage.
Pull the Blue and Yellow wires back while feeding the igniter back into the feeder assembly - remount the igniter with the two screws previously removed. Make sure that all the wire is pulled back through the rubber grommet and the grommet is securely in place in the opening.
Hint: Before removing the wires - mark the Yellow and Blue wires with a black "Magic Marker" near the grommet - this will help you determine that they are pulled back to their original position.
Rebundle the excess wire and secure it with a Tywrap so that it will not interfere with the feed chain assembly.
Very easy - unplug the stove - remove the rear lower shields - remove the ash pan - open the door. You do not need to remove the 4 screws that secure the lower shields - just loosen them and slide the shields out.
At the rear near the auger drive chain locate a bundle of Yellow and Blue wires. Remove the Tywrap and straighten out the wires.
Remove the clean-out door on the front of the burn pot - locate the two 5/16 inch screw heads just above the door and remove them with a 5/16 box end wrench or a small socket wrench. The igniter and cage will drop down (may need a little tap with a small screwdriver to loosen them ). Note the position of the cage - it must be remounted in the same way and not upside down.

Put the stove back together and fire it up.
One wrench, possibly a screwdriver, one Tywrap, and less than 1/2 hour. Possibly longer the first time.
You need to make a new thread for this.....nobody is going to see it buried in a thread about Harman stoves. Put the make & model in it....something like " Need help changing Enviro EF2i ignitor".Hi
Could someone tell me how to change the ignitor on an Envirofire EF2i pellet stove? The ignitor that was ent to me looks different than the original.
Thanks
