This weekend when I went to turn on my pool heater, which was working fine last week, I noticed that it didn't seem to heat. When I listened to it I could hear the blower turn on and then after a few seconds I normally hear the ignition sound and the little green light next to "Heat" turns on but now I hear what sounds like the ignition sound and the light comes on but after 2-3 seconds it turns off and then about 30 seconds later it does the same thing. My heater has an electric ignitor so I took that out and read online that you should try cleaning that so I rubbed it with some steel wool and it just crumbled apart. I went ahead and ordered the replacement part (Hayward IDXLIGN1930) which I plan to install tonight but I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue and if I ordered the right part. I don't get any error codes on the heater itself. Thanks!
