Why your Star griddle is burner not igniting
A Star griddle that is burner not igniting tends to show the same signs: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. On this platform it's most often a faulty gas valve. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Failed spark module
- Loose igniter wiring
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
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. Also, check whether other burners on the same unit ignite normally, which narrows the fault to one burner or the whole unit. When that isn't the fix, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
