Why your Southbend char-broiler is burner not igniting
Catching burner not igniting early on a Southbend char-broiler is usually straightforward: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. Nine times out of ten it comes down to loose igniter wiring. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Loose igniter wiring
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Failed spark module
- A faulty gas valve
Known Southbend char-broiler weak points
- pilot, thermocouple and gas safety-valve failures on ranges and ovens
- oven thermostat calibration drift causing uneven baking temperatures
- convection blower motor and door gasket wear on convection ovens
- spark ignition module and burner valve failures on gas sections
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. Past that point, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
