Do-It-Yourself Story

Ordered replacement igniter in 2016. Part worked for about 11 months then failed as lower blade cracked & broke in use. No attempt to get return as it was installed but suggested to APPros, part may have defect. As a result seems APPros sent two igniters, which was thoughtful; For one, the blade of the igniter broke in installation; the other installed okay and works. Either from age or design, or materials the igniter blade seems to have a flaw or weakness. Care was taken in installation and break seems not attributable to that, as it involves simply inserting the blade in the shielded housing. Anyway, good for now.
