Why your Star griddle is not heating
On a Star griddle, not heating usually announces itself like this: appliance runs but doesn't reach set temperature. Failed heating element, igniter, or thermal fuse. The usual culprit is faulty temperature sensor. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A broken door switch cutting the heat circuit
- Burned-out heating element
- Faulty temperature sensor
Known Star griddle weak points
- griddle thermostat and thermocouple failures causing no or uneven heat
- electric griddle/charbroiler element burnout
- uneven plate heating from failed burners on gas units
- pilot and gas-valve issues on gas charbroilers
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: check whether an ignition click or spark is audible at all when it should be heating. Also, confirm the griddle has power, any gas supply valve is open, and a simple reset — power off 60 seconds, back on — doesn't restore heat. Once you've ruled that out, no spark or flame usually means the igniter or gas valve itself has failed, and gas-carrying parts are restricted to licensed work in most jurisdictions.
How we fix it
An experienced tech tests the Star griddle systematically and pinpoints what's actually causing the not heating. OEM parts are widely available through the Middleby/Star network and Parts Town; gas charbroiler repairs need a licensed technician. Most not heating jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
