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.

 

 

 

 

Battery cap not threaded properly

Remove the Electronic Igniter battery cap

 

 

and re-attach. Ensure that the cap is prop-

 

 

erly attached without cross threading.

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.

leak test to ensure that the flow limiting

 

 

device was not activated due to a leak in
