Keep Your Automatic Ignitor Igniting!
Courtesy Appliance Factory Parts
An ignitor sends a high voltage along the wire to the ignitor electrode inside the collector box. The collector box collects gas which sparks the light.If your grill has an ignitor that no longer works:
- Check the connections at the push button itself, and at the spark collector box. These connections can become corroded (Fig. 1)
- Now check the insulator in the collector box for cracks. Cracks collect moisture and reduce the spark, in which case will require replacement
- Sand electrode tip inside the collector box
- Clean electrode with alcohol
- Lightly sand the inner roof of the collector box
