Check Item
• 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.
Output lead
• 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.
• Are regulator on and right?
• Make sure regulator is
connected properly to the tank,
and control knobs are all in the
off position.
Prevention/Solution
• Install battery (make sure that "+" and "-"
connectors are oriented correctly, with "+"
end up and "-" end down.)
• Replace battery with new AAA-size 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 AA-size alkaline
battery.
• Use paper towel to remove moisture.
• Replace cracked or broken electrodes.
• Open the grill lid.
• Turn off all knobs on the control panel in
front.
• Turn off the tank knob.
• Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
Wait 30 seconds.
• Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank.
• Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way
open. Do not put excessive force on the valve
at the full open position to avoid damaging the
valve.
• Turn on an appropriate control knob and
light the grill per the lighting instructions.
