An ignitor is one of the most important parts of a gas grill. Without a functioning ignitor, your grill won't start. In this blog post, we will discuss how to clean and maintain your gas grill ignitor to ensure that it works properly every time you cook.
1. Turn Off the Gas
Make sure you turn off the gas supply before you do the cleaning of the ignitor. This will prevent the gas from leaking out.
2. Remove the Ignitor Button
Gently pull the ignitor out from the front panel of your grill. Be careful not to pull too hard or you may damage the wires.
3. Clean the Ignitor Button
The ignition button can easily become dirty after many months grilling, which can prevent it from making proper contact. Use a cotton swab and a bit of rubbing alcohol quanta to clean the button, making sure to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on it.
4. Check the Wires
Check the ignition wires that connect the ignitor to the grill. Make sure they're not frayed or damaged. If you notice there is any damage, you will need to replace them before grilling.
5. Reassemble the Ignitor
Once you have finished cleaning. Reassemble the grill by putting the burner covers and grill grates back in place. Make sure everything is securely fastened and that there are no loose or damaged components.
6. Test the Ignitor
Once you have cleaned the ignitor and replaced the battery (if necessary), test it by turning on the gas supply and pressing the ignitor button. If the ignitor produces a spark and lights the burners, then it is working fine. If not, you may need to replace a new ignitor. Click here to check the ignitor that fits your grill.
