Stove is not igniting. Could it be fuse? - Kitchen Ranges

The thermal fuse can't be reset if the fuse has or is blown, it must have to be replaced. One of the wires that supply power to the oven element or igniter might be burnt out. These wires will generally burn out near the heat source. To determine if a wire has burned out, inspect the wires leading to the element or igniter.

Sounds like the input power is connected backwards....

Some old stoves did have a fuse for the oven igniter. It could be just a bad igniter. Check under the top panel and see if there is a small black cap toward the right side toward the back. If there is one then it is the fuse. replace the fuse and see if the oven comes on. You may still need to replace the igniter. If it an electric stove then the element is probabaly burned out or a wire burned off.

If your Kozi pellet stove has an igniter (located in a steel tube under the fire pot), check to make sure the igniter isn't shorted out (dead short).

I recently purchased a used Kozi 100XL that had an igniter that was bad. I also found that, prior to me buying the stove, the old igniter had been twisted inside its steel tube under the fire pot bringing its two wires at the end of the igniter together. These touching wires likely were throwing circuit breakers for the previous owner of the stove but, by the time I bought the unit, this had resulted in a burned wire at the fan thermal switch where one of the igniter wires connects. After repairing the burned wire, I plugged the stove back in and a house circuit breaker was thrown. A new igniter repaired the problem.

BTW, Kozi has a better than excellent online customer service who will likely walk you through any problems with your stove. They did for me even though they knew my stove had been purchased used.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote to give details about why your cooktop will notspark to light the burners..

Cooktop Range Stove spark ignition does not work

You can do some troubleshooting by looking at the glass fuse after it has failed. If the element looks melted and there is no other discoloration, then the fuse probably blew as a result of an overload somewhere. If the fuse is burned black, then it's probably a short in the system.

You can meter the motors to see if they are shorted anywhere or open.

It sounds like you may be correct about the circuit board.

Open the backguard on the range to access the electronic control. If you read 120 volts into the control and nothing works,...replace the control.

change the igniter

I would check that the range is plugged in first and that any fuse in the range itself has not blown. Fuse in the stove should be near where the electric line from the wall plug goes into the back of the range. Just follow it down to where it plugs into the range itself.

If all those are fine, check the little wires from the igniters all the way to where they plug into some connector. But unless you had a really busy mouse I dont see that happening to all the wires from each igniter. good luck
