Troubleshooting - Electronic Ignition

Problem (Ignition)

SECTION I
No sparks appear at
any electrodes when
Electronic Ignition Button

is pressed; no noise can

be heard from spark

module.

SECTION II

SECTION III
Sparks are present
but not at all
electrodes and/or not
at full strength

Possible Cause

• Battery not installed

properly.

• Dead battery.

• Button assembly not

installed properly.

• Faulty spark module.

• Output lead

connections not
connected.

• Output lead

connections not
connected.

• Arcing to grill away

from burner(s).

• Weak battery.

• Electrodes are wet.

• Electrodes cracked or

broken “sparks at
crack”.

Check Procedure

• Check battery orientation.

• Has battery been used

previously?

• Check to insure threads are

properly engaged. Button
should travel up and down
without binding.

• If no sparks are generated

with new battery and good
wire connections, module is
faulty.

• Are output connections on

and tight?

• Are output connections on

and tight?

• If possible, observe grill in

dark location. Operate
ignition system and look for
arcing between output wires
and grill frame.

• All sparks present but weak

or at slow rate.

• Has moisture accumulated

on electrode and/or in burner
ports?

• Inspect electrodes for

cracks.

Prevention/Solution

• Install battery (make sure that “+” and “–”

connectors are oriented correctly, with “+” end up
and “–” end down.)

• Replace battery with new alkaline battery.

• Unscrew button cap assembly and reinstall, making

sure threads are aligned and engaged fully.

• Replace spark module assembly.

• Remove and reconnect all output connections at

module and electrodes.

• Remove and reconnect all output connections at

module and electrodes.

• If sparks are observed other than from burner(s),

wire insulation may be damaged. Replace wires.

• Replace battery with a new alkaline battery.

• Use paper towel to remove moisture.

• Replace cracked or broken electrodes.
