Wade just saved me a minimum of $200. After following his instructions, I found that my ignition wasn't lighting. He showed me how to remove the grill and heat plates, and clean the igniter and burners with a toothbrush. VOILA! It worked! I'm so happy! Thanks, Wade! This is the most comprehensive and easy site I found.
This is easily the best troubleshooting video I’ve ever seen, period. The moment I saw this guy I knew he was the real deal. Thank you, o’ nameless grill swami 🙏
I was going to basically say the same thing, so I'll just join in here. Seriously, best video I've ever seen in terms of logical flow and solid information. It was like I was hearing an audio flowchart of the debug procedure!
I can't thank you enough for this video. I was all set to buy a new grill, but just on a whim did a search for a fix-it guide online. Yours was the first video that came up. On it I learned the pressure regulator needed to be reset, followed your instructions and bingo, it's working just fine now. You saved me a lot of money. Sears, I'm grateful for this. I really hope you guys can pull through.
I just ordered a new ignitor. $10 on Amazon. My Char Broil was only 3 years old, I replaced the battery, and used Deoxit for the electronics inside the igniter cavity. Still No clicking etc. This is a great video on everything.
I don't usually like or comment in videos, but that part about the flow limiting device helped me a bunch, I was frustrated how a tank I just got last week barely got the burners running, watching your video helped me figure out that was the problem. Thank you and God bless
I reset the pressure regulator exactly as you showed and it worked!! Yippee! I needed this because we have a hurricane coming (Milton) in SW Florida. If I lose electricity, I can still cook now. Thank you!
I’m 15 learning how to use a grill and last time I used it I turned of the gas first then the burners so when I tried starting it up again, it wouldn’t light. But thanks to you I was able to reset it and get it to work again👍🏼
Really great information. I have my grill up and running but still need to look into the igniting device. But lighting it manually with torch will work for tonight. Thanks for a great video
Thank you saved my BBQ! The flow limiting device was the problem! Got my bbq to work and there was not one tutorial on this, just yours thanks a bunch!!!
seeing how you used the multimeter I know I went wrong having mine on DC 20v and touching it's wires to both starter terminals. Now, blank screen when turned on and yes fuse ok.
It was the regulator. I suspected as much but didn't know the cure of allowing it to equalize, and slowly opening the valve. Now I do thanks to this vid.
Amazingly comprehensive and succinct video, bravo and thank you! I am only left hanging on one very important point--what is the expected voltage on the meter if things are working?
Have you ever experienced after replacing the bbq electrodes, where all of them sparks but can’t seem to ignite to fire it up? It lights up ok if I manually used with a lighter
I have to agree. Thank you. After listening to your video I learned that I needed to replace the regulator which costs $27.00 compared to $300 for a new BBQ.
old tube burners falling apart, bought replacements, put them on, but they wont light. there is a spark.. when i put my old burners back on, they light. any ideas?
Video shows checking for voltage but how can there be any current running between the module and the grill burner if there is no connection between them? There would never be a complete circuit!
I do not have a special small knob to push for ignitor. I have to push the large ignition burner on the far left. How do I get to the battery for the ignitor. I took off the large knob and no battery inside of that and no clue in finding the battery.
Not all grills use a battery. Some models use a piezoelectric starter that doesn't need a battery to generate the ignition spark. If your grill has that type of igniter, you'll likely need to replace the igniter if it isn't producing an ignition spark. If you're unsure which type of igniter your grill has, let us know the model number of your grill and we'll let you know the type of igniter that it uses.
Help my electric igniter does work, it sounds...but I don’t see any pulse outside and it won’t light up! It rained all day and it got wet. Does that have to do with my issue??
A wet igniter electrode can prevent the igniter spark from arcing to light the burner. Let the grill dry completely after the rain stops and see if the igniter works. If not, follow the troubleshooting steps described in the video to fix the problem.
Goodness. This was one of the best troubleshooting videos ever. He literally covered every step. Thanks

What kind of voltage you looking for?
Thanks! My pressure regulator appears to have tripped, and this was the perfect, easy solution.
You, sir, just saved my sanity. Thank you!

Thank you! Thought we were going to have to take the grill apart and take it back.
Great video. Fixed my issue.
This video was made just before Sears went belly-up, although Sears PartsDirect still exists.
Outstanding educational video!!!! 5 stars!!!!!
