Igniters & Specialty Electrical

Napoleon NPI40, NPI45, NPS40, and NPS45 pellet stove models will use a 275 watt igniter/ignition element. We offer an aftermarket assembly replacement for factory part numbers W357-0004, W357-0007, and W010-1949. The igniter element is located in the base of the burnpot area. During start-up, the igniter will get cherry hot and the combustion air rushing around the igniter becomes 'super-heated' creating ignition to the pellet fuel in the burnpot. As the igniter gets weak over time we will often notice missed ignition cycles or the element not functioning at all. Keep in mind it's the air rushing around the igniter lighting the fire. If there is air loss or air blockage issues in your Pacific Energy model, there will be ignition issues.

If you are experiencing ignition troubles with your stove, check the simple things first

• Burnpot is clean and seated properly
• Front door and ash door are closed and the gasket seal is tight all the way around
• Ash accumulation in the stove and exhaust venting has been removed/cleaned out
• Air intake passageway is free and clear
• Combustion blower is running at proper voltage

You can also use a basic multi-meter to test the ohms on your igniter element to determine if it's in proper range. Watch our helpful guide videos below on igniter testing and common igniter replacement and installation.
