PROBLEM | CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
| Electrode wire (lead wire) is unplugged | Confirm that the lead wire, from |
| or has a loose connection | the Electronic Igniter module to the |
|
| electrode is well attached. Loose or |
|
| corroded contacts in the igniter system |
|
| and electrode can impair its functionality. |
|
| Proper connection can often be restored |
|
| by simply disconnecting and reconnect- |
|
| ing the various electrode wires. |

| Electronic Igniter Module battery | The battery located in the Electronic |
| is dead | Igniter Module may be dead. Replace |
|
| battery. The correct position is with the (+) |
|
| end down. |
|
| Do not leave battery within Electronic Igni- |
|
| tion module for extended periods, if BBQ is |
|
| not in use. Battery acids and corrosion can |
|
| result causing permanent damage to the |
|
| Electronic Ignition module. |

| in distance from the burner and sit within |
|
| the collector box, 3/16 or slightly over 1/8 |
|
| of an inch from the burner – too much or |
|
| too little of a gap will impair the electrode’s |
|
| ability to have a positive spark, allowing |
|
| the burner to light |
|
|
|
| Damaged collector box | The electrode is covered by the collector |
|
| box that traps impurities to prevent the |
|
| electrode and collector box from corrod- |
|
| ing. If either the electrode or collector box |
|
| is corroded a light sanding using fine sand |
|
| paper will restore them to functionality. If |
|
| the collector box is pierced or worn from |
|
| excessive corrosion it must be replaced. |
|
|
|
| Blockage within Venturi tubes | Burner maintenance must be performed |
|
| to remove any blockages within the |
|
| Venturi tubes that are enabling the burner |
|
| from lighting. |
