Setup and Installation

Safety First: Before attempting any installation or maintenance, ensure your pellet stove is completely turned off, unplugged from the power source, and has cooled down completely. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or burns.

1. Access the Igniter: Locate the igniter assembly within your pellet stove. This typically involves removing access panels or components as per your stove's specific manual.
2. Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect the existing igniter's electrical connections. Note the orientation and connection points for proper reinstallation.
3. Remove Old Igniter: Unfasten and remove the old igniter from its housing. It may be secured with screws or clips.
4. Install New Igniter: Insert the new 66608-SPFL igniter into the housing. Ensure it is seated correctly and securely fastened.
5. Connect Wiring: Reconnect the electrical wires to the new igniter. Ensure a secure and proper connection. The igniter features two wires with red spade connectors for easy attachment.
6. Secure Panels: Replace any access panels or components that were removed during the process.
7. Test Operation: Plug the stove back in and follow your stove's operating instructions to test the new igniter. Observe for proper ignition.

Operating Principles

The 66608-SPFL igniter operates by rapidly heating its element when electrical current is applied. This heat is then transferred to the wood pellets in the burn pot, causing them to ignite and start the fire. The stove's control board manages the igniter's activation cycle, typically turning it off once a stable flame is established.

Maintenance

While the igniter itself requires minimal direct maintenance, regular cleaning and proper operation of your pellet stove can significantly extend its lifespan:

• Regular Stove Cleaning: Keep the burn pot, ash pan, and exhaust vents clean to ensure optimal airflow and prevent excessive ash buildup around the igniter.
• Pellet Quality: Use high-quality wood pellets with low ash content to reduce residue that can foul the igniter.
• Inspect Wiring: Periodically check the igniter's wiring for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections.
• Avoid Physical Damage: Be careful when cleaning or performing other maintenance on your stove to avoid bending or damaging the igniter element.

Troubleshooting

If your pellet stove is not igniting, the igniter may be the cause. Here are some common troubleshooting steps:

• No Ignition: If the stove attempts to ignite but no flame appears, the igniter may not be heating sufficiently. This could indicate a failed igniter element or a wiring issue.
• Error Codes: Consult your pellet stove's manual for specific error codes related to ignition failure.
• Visual Inspection: After ensuring the stove is off and cool, visually inspect the igniter element. Look for any cracks, breaks, or excessive carbon buildup.
• Continuity Test (Advanced): If comfortable and equipped, a multimeter can be used to test the continuity of the igniter element. A lack of continuity indicates a broken element.

If troubleshooting indicates a faulty igniter, replacement with a compatible part like the 66608-SPFL is necessary.
