Why your Imperial char-broiler is burner not igniting
When a Imperial char-broiler 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. On this platform it's most often a dirty or wet igniter. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A weak spark electrode
- A faulty gas valve
- Failed spark module
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 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. Once you've ruled that out, if it still won't spark, the igniter, spark module, or gas valve is at fault, and gas components aren't a homeowner repair by code in most areas.
