Do you not have a dealer who can supply you a replacement? Or, you may be able to service a defective one yourself, if, for example, it simply has a bad capacitor or other part -- but you'll require some good test equipment to determine which parts, if any, are bad.

We do not have a dealer here. How much is the cost for a brand new or rebuilt unit of igniter

I would try cleaning up the wiring and replacing the terminal blocks first. The blocks should just snap into the din rail. I've replaced a couple of them before and was able to get them at a local electrical supply store (Grainger ). I doubt you need a new ignitor. The terminal blocks aren't part of the ignitor, and they obviously need replaced. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, call an electrician.

You can also contact Irem and ask them about a local dealer.
