Miller CMF65-PG-DI: accessing ignitor
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2009 7:18 pm
It's the propane fear that stops me from trying any DIY inside my furnace, but a solid day online has a)informed me that this is actually a simple (not to mention economic) task, unfortunately b)I've yet to find an image, diagram, schematic or text explanation (including the utubes) to clarify where the Miller ignitor is?
I assume it's behind the "venturi" weldment (with the manifold tube connecting down from the valve), that is: inside the cylinder housing the heat spreader, cone & tube weldment? But unscrewing this assembly, with that rigid manifold pipe that needs to be loosened to swivel out of the way in order to pull the venturi section out to ACCESS this thing seems considerably more complex than the "1 minute job" involving "a single screw on a bracket" all the other sites imply? Though I'd want the ignition device perpendicular to (not parallel with) the incoming fuel flow--I see no other way to the chamber unless all the works stay put & I have to remove the panel which seems semi-sealed?
This is why I end up calling repairmen!?
