Imperial Griddle Burner Not Igniting in Fruit Cove, FL
Surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. We fix this on Imperial griddles across Fruit Cove. Emergency slots stay open daily for breakdowns that can't wait.
Why your Imperial griddle is burner not igniting
Catching burner not igniting early on a Imperial griddle is usually straightforward: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. More often than not it traces back to clogged burner ports. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Failed spark module
- A faulty gas valve
- A weak spark electrode
- A dirty or wet igniter
Known Imperial griddle weak points
- standing-pilot and thermocouple failures preventing burner ignition
- burner valve and orifice wear causing weak or uneven flame
- oven and fryer thermostat drift affecting temperature accuracy
- griddle plate warping and thermostat faults over heavy use
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, check whether other burners on the same unit ignite normally, which narrows the fault to one burner or the whole unit. Also, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. Once you've ruled that out, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
