Wells Griddle Burner Not Igniting in Lakeside, FL
Surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. We fix this on Wells griddles across Lakeside. You get a two-hour arrival window, not a vague 'sometime today'.
Why your Wells griddle is burner not igniting
A Wells griddle that is burner not igniting tends to show the same signs: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. More often than not it traces back to a faulty gas valve. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A weak spark electrode
- Clogged burner ports
- 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
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. If none of that changes anything, 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.
