Pellet Stove Igniter FAQ
Q: How do I know if my pellet stove igniter needs replacement?
A: Common signs include the stove failing to ignite pellets after several attempts, the igniter not glowing visibly (check through the viewing hole or after careful removal), or an error code on your stove's control board related to ignition failure. A multimeter test for continuity can confirm if the element is broken.
Q: Can I install a replacement igniter myself?
A: Yes, for most models, installation is a straightforward DIY task. Always disconnect power to the stove completely. The process typically involves removing a few screws or a mounting plate, disconnecting the old wires, and fitting the new Torbo igniter in its place, ensuring it is seated correctly in the pellet cup area. Always consult your stove's manual first.
Q: Why does my new igniter fail prematurely?
A: Premature failure is often caused by factors other than the igniter itself. This includes poor airflow (clogged exhaust pathways), low-quality pellets with high ash content smothering the igniter, or a faulty combustion fan not providing enough oxygen. Ensuring your stove is clean and well-maintained protects your investment in a quality Torbo part.
