Why your Imperial griddle is burner not igniting
Here's how burner not igniting typically presents on a Imperial griddle: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. On this platform it's most often loose igniter wiring. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Loose igniter wiring
- A faulty gas valve
- A dirty or wet igniter
- A weak spark electrode
- Failed spark module
Known Imperial griddle 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 booking a repair, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. Past that point, 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.
