mine stopped igniting for some reason.

just plugged it in yesterday and nothing.

blower kicks on and kerosene is spitting out the front, but doesnt ignite.

 

i did manually light it (lighter and carb cleaner.. yeah yeah i know not the smartest thing but i wanted try to narrow it down)

 

and it will blow heat and run like it normally does.

i thought maybe running it would help. but after i was done i unplugged it and plugged it back in and same as it did before.. blower kicks on and spits K1 out the front no igniton/ no heat.

 

any ideas.. or remedies...

if i cant fix it ill probably keep manually lighting it to get me through winter and just install a reznor next year.

its s older sears brand. where would this igniter be... i see two wires that look like plug wires.. both come out of a box.. and then attach to the tube where i can also see that kerosene is injected. i figured there where plugs in it, but have no idea how to get them out. nor do i know anything else about them.. ill take a pic maybe that will help
