To prepare your pellet stove for winter, replacing its ignitor is essential for maintenance. The ignitor is a small device that utilizes electricity to heat and ignite the pot pellets.
Once you activate the pellet stove, the ignitor will turn on and start heating up. If the temperature becomes high enough, the pellets fuel in the firepot will catch fire, generating heat as they burn. This method is generally reliable and effective. It's essential to use the appropriate ignitor for your model. Making your pellet stove in excellent condition will result in a cozy and warm winter every year that your family will surely love.
*(Not compatible with units using the pressurized ignition system)*
Note: Previous versions of this igniter had several variations in the number of fins (See Notation Below). This igniter will replace all prior versions.
Igniter Fin Variations: 11 fins prior to 2008, 13 fins in stoves 2008-2010, 15 fins from 2011-2018 and is currently 16 fins.
Note: When using this igniter to replace an old style Harman igniter, it may be necessary to also upgrade to the new igniter cradle 1-00-777907. Please compare your cradles, the old cradles are no longer supported or made.

Instructions:
1.) The igniter is located in the burn pot. (To access the ignitor you must first loosen the two wing nuts securing the burn pot clean-out cover to the bottom of the pot. Once both wing nuts are loosened the cover plate can be removed).
2.) The igniter is accessed and changed through the front of the stove, but you will also need to access the rear of the stove to free the wiring.
3.) From the rear of the unit, locate the yellow and light blue wires for the igniter at the point where they pass through the neck of the burn pot into the rear of the stove, it is directly under the auger (On freestanding stoves this will require that the rear / side shields are removed. When replacing the ignitor on an insert the unit will need to be slid forward and pulled out of the firebox. On some units, there may be a small rubber grommet or a dab of high temp silicone where the ignitor wires transition to the back of the unit.)
4.) In this area you should notice extra wire looped together (Likely, this excess wire will be secured in position with a zip tie). This extra wire needs to be freed up so that the disconnects can be pulled forward and disconnected from the neck of the burn pot. This can be done by carefully cutting the zip tie and gently pushing about 12" of the yellow and light blue wire into the cavity of the stove where the ignitor is located.
5.) From the front of the stove, remove the two 5/16" or 8mm screws that hold the igniter cradle inside the burn pot (Do not discard these screws).
6.) Drop the igniter assembly down and pull it forward until you can see the wire disconnects, then disconnect the wires from the harness and remove the whole assembly.
7.) To remove the igniter from the cradle, twist the two tabs that secure the flat plate to the ignitor (If using the updated cradle there will not be an igniter retainer plate). Your old igniter can now be removed (Pay special attention to how the ignitor is positioned in the cradle. The replacement will be positioned in the same way).
8.) Position your new ignitor in the cradle, reposition the previously removed plate (Updated cradles will not have this retainer plate), twist the tabs to secure it in place, and reinstall the cradle using the two 5/16" or 8mm mounting screws (If you have an updated cradle gently tighten the two screws at the bottom of the cradle to seat the igniter against the bottom of the burn pot).
9.) From the rear of the unit, gently pull the excess wire you previously feed forward to remove the slack, coil the extra wire length, and secure it with a zip tie.
10.) Reinstall the cover plate and test your ignitor to ensure it is operating correctly.
