TROUBLESHOOTING SIDE BURNER
Burner won’t light when the
ignition is pushed.
Burner flame is yellow or or-
ange, in conjunction with the
odor of gas.
Low heat with knob in “HI”
position.
Remove the burner grate. Push in the control knob
and listen to the electrode while engaging the ignition.
There should be a spark from the electrode. When the
spark jumps, it makes a ticking sound.
If there is no spark........
Could be a dead battery. Try replacing the battery.
Or the air gap between an electrode tip and a contact
metal is too far (gap should be 1/8”) or dirty.
If there is a spark... is there gas supplied to the unit and
is the line purged of air? See page 20.
Does the other burner of a dual burner model
operate?
Check the orifice or venturi for blockage.
Check the burner for obstructions or dirt. See page 34.
Check for proper gas supply or wrong gas type.
Is the side burner in a dusty area? Move to less dusty
area if possible.
Is the fuel hose bent or kinked?
Is there adequate gas supply available? If it is only one
burner of the dual burner unit that appears low, does
the burner need cleaning?
If using LP gas, check for empty tank or low fill level.
Air movement. Wind break is needed.
