I woke up to a cold house this morning and an overflowing burn pot. Looks like it never ignighted after the thermostat call in the middle of the night.
Cleaned her all out, and it still wouldn't restart.... overflowed again, no ignition.
ok... its been a while since i did the pipe... got my full clean on.
still wont start.
The burn pot was WARM, and i stuck my hand in there and the ignitor was WARM, but i could touch it quickly without getting burnt. I didn't try for longer....
i've never felt it in normal operating state. is this normal? I assumed it would be red hot.
I started a few pellets on fire outside the box (like an idiot, don't try this at home :D) and got the stove back running again 'manually' so i'm warm, but im trying to figure out if i need a new ignitor or if this is a sign of something else. The fuse looked fine... no error lights (until the PoF kicks on for lack of burn) its just not igniting, but it's trying.
I also have new (to me) pellets in here. the energex. i don't see why these would be anything out of the ordinary. I've lit probably 30 different brands in the stove with no issue.... and once on, these are burning fine for me.
is a weak ignitor one on its way out? or is it an all or nothing on/off?
