I have a Harman XXV, installed 4 years ago. The igniter was changed out about a year or so ago, on warranty.
It's worked fine until the last month or so. Sometimes the stove will ignite and sometimes it won't. If it doesn't, sometimes vacuuming everything out of the burnpot (unburned pellets, any ash) will make it light the next try. Sometimes not. If it doesn't light, I can put my hand on the burnpot and it's not hot at all (like the igniter was dead). But then, the next try it might light, which shows that the igniter is still working to some extent.
Has anybody seen this happen, or know what might be going on ? The pellets feed fine - that's not the problem. They are North American.
