Why your Wells griddle is burner not igniting
When a Wells griddle is burner not igniting, here's what you'll usually notice: 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 a dirty or wet igniter. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Loose igniter wiring
- A faulty gas valve
- Failed spark module
Known Wells griddle weak points
- Ventless system filter loading and airflow faults tripping the unit
- Hot-well and griddle heating element and thermostat failures
- Drawer-warmer element and control failures
- Fryer auto-lift and thermostat malfunctions
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: 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. Should that not clear it, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
