Install Instructions For Enviro Igniter for Pre-2004 Pellet Stoves: EF-127
This igniter plugs into to a socket, known as the halogen pin socket. The pins from this part most likely will not self align. Prior to removing the the igniter the intake box located under the auger motor must be removed and the halogen pin socket leads need to be free from the wire harness so that when the igniter is removed, the halogen socket travels with the igniter through the front of the stove so it can be plugged in. Either pin may attach into either hole. Reinstall the igniter and then take up the wire slack in the back to prevent the socket pin wires from touching the exposed igniter tube.

It is advisable to ALWAYS replace your door gasket when you are replacing an igniter. A leaking door gasket is often a contributing factor to igniter failure.
Troubleshooting Igniters:
Igniter failure can be verified on one of three ways. The easiest and most common way to see if the igniter is working is to start your stove or grill and visually look for the orange glow; however, some appliances do not have a visual way to do this, so you may have to physically feel around in the burn pot after the stove has been on for a few minutes to “feel” for heat being generated. If you can see the glow or can feel the heat from the igniter, chances are that the igniter is actually working. If this is the case, retry the startup process. Make sure your burn pot is seated correctly if it is removable. Make sure that your ash pan, door or hopper lid is closed as this will provide an airtight seal on the stove, which most igniters will require for proper ignition. If you still do not have any luck, give the stove a good cleaning, including the vent, and try again. If these attempts fail, further troubleshooting will be required, which leads us to the third method.
For this method, you will need a DMM (Digital Multi-Meter). Gain access to the igniter and remove it from the stove or insert. While you are taking the igniter out, verify that it is installed correctly with the correct mounting equipment, screws, etc.. With the igniter removed from the stove, you will need to look over the part to find the rated watts, it’s usually stamped on the metal somewhere. If you cannot find it, look on our website for the correct igniter; the information you are looking for will be under “technical specs”
If your Ohms reading is within 10%, more or less than the rating (46Ω +/- 10%), it’s good. If the igniter has a “contained short” or a short within itself and not grounding out, your Ohms reading will be very low...usually in the single digits. Generally, you cannot have a faulty igniter with too high of a resistance reading unless an igniter is installed that is way out of spec. An example of this would be your stove requires a 300W igniter but the stove has a 250W igniter installed. The reading in this scenario would be 52Ω. The reading would be correct to the igniter but would be the wrong value for the specified 300W igniter. That’s why it’s usually good to look at the part itself for the watts rating.

Enviro Flame Igniter for pre-2004
Igniter was received, it is a exact replacement item. Packaging was not the best. The 2-connector pins (probes) were severely bent. I had to straighten and align the both of them. All else was O.K. Tested the system after and igniter works as needed.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
If your question does not concern this specific product, use our contact form
What is the length from the mounting flange to the front of the tube?
Over all length: 6-1/2" Length from flange to end of ignitor tube going into burn out area: 2-9/16"
I have an ef2i ignitor that scores in from the front of the fire box - both were very difficult to access and both sheered off when removing. What’s the easiest way to access these screwed from the front of the stove and how to acess the back of the screws now to try and get the broken off pieces out ? It’s either a very poor design or I am missing something .......probably the ladder ..
The igniter comes out from the front. Unfortunately, the screws that hold it in are sometimes corroded. They are Torx20 screws and will often strip out if penetrating oil or the wrong size Torx bit isn't used
