Why your Imperial char-broiler is not heating
On a Imperial char-broiler, 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 bad control board
- Failed igniter or gas valve
- Faulty temperature sensor
- Burned-out heating element
Known Imperial char-broiler 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, confirm the char-broiler has power, any gas supply valve is open, and a simple reset — power off 60 seconds, back on — doesn't restore heat. If it's still acting up after that, heating elements, igniters, and gas valves combine high current or combustible gas, and that combination is a licensed-technician job, not a home fix.
How we fix it
We trace the not heating on your Imperial char-broiler to its source instead of throwing parts at it. OEM parts are available (Imperial is now Middleby-owned) through Parts Town and PartsFPS; gas work requires a licensed technician.
