How to fix a Napoleon Stove that feeds pellets but won't ignite?
- GgibsonanaAug 25, 2025
If your Napoleon Stove is feeding pellets but will not ignite, start by ensuring that the air intake hole on the side of the igniter for the ignitor tube is clear and free of blockages. Also, ensure that the burnpot is correctly seated in the burner housing, with the locating notch engaged with the ignitor and the burnpot sitting flat. If these steps don't resolve the issue, test the ignitor by applying power directly to it and observing if the tip glows within two minutes. If it doesn't glow, the ignitor is defective and needs replacement. Finally, check if the control board is sending the correct voltage (115 volts) to the ignitor during startup. If the voltage is lower, inspect the wiring for issues; if no wiring problems are found, the control board may be defective.
