 Verify Proper Igniter Board Operation
On the MaxFire (S/N 3000 – 9800)

NOTE: An igniter board may get damaged when an igniter burns out leaving the igniter circuit
in the "ON" condition. When this happens, the fuse may likely be damaged as well.

When an igniter is burned out, do the following test to assure proper solution to the problem:
1) Unplug the stove.
2) Replace the medium blow 6.3A fuse with a fast blow fuse between 5 to 6 amps.
DO NOT use the 6.3A fuse.
3) Unplug the damaged igniter.
4) Unplug the exhaust fan, (J13 on the main control board),
plugging it into an igniter port (J5 or J7) on the igniter board.
5) Plug in the stove. If the exhaust fan runs, STOP - the igniter board is bad - Replace the igniter board.
Test the other igniter port in the same manner.
If the exhaust fan runs while plugged into either igniter port, replace the igniter board.
NOTE: If an igniter is burned out on the stove, the stove may not perform the ash dump.

Replacing the MaxFire igniter(s):

Ƒ Unplug the stove.
Ƒ Remove the left and / or right side screws and panel(s).
Ƒ Using a 5/64" hex head wrench or a Philips screw driver, remove the screws holding the lower
louver in place. Remove the louver. See Figure 1.

NOTE: READ BEFORE CONTINUING

If an error code of (#7 & #1), (#7 & #2) or (#7 & #1-2) has occurred, follow the
next instructions BEFORE REMOVING either of the igniters! DO NOT ASSUME!

Using an ohmmeter (use the lowest scale), measure the resistance of each Igniter to
determine which Igniter is BAD. A good Igniter will read +/- 28 ohms.
Once it is determined which Igniter is bad, continue with the following instructions.

Ƒ Remove the grommet. See Figure 3.

Ƒ With one finger, move the securing clip out of the way. Using needle nose pliers (any other
tool or a wire with a hook on it) to pull the igniter out about 2" past the front of the stove. See
Figure 4.

Ƒ Feed the new igniter plug & wires through the grommet hole.
Ƒ Insert the new igniter into the hole in the side of the firebox.
Ƒ Attach the ground wire and air hose to the igniter.
Ƒ Push the igniter back into the lower burn pot into the igniter tip guide. Make sure the securing
clip has moved over to hold the igniter in place.
Ƒ Plug both igniters back into the main control board.
Ƒ Replace the rubber grommet.
Ƒ Secure wires with cable ties.
Ƒ Put the lower louver back on.
Ƒ Install the screws.

 Replacing the Convection Fan Capacitor

Tools needed to replace the Convection Fan Capacitor:

Philips head screw driver
9/16” socket wrench

• Unplug the Stove.
