Why your Imperial griddle is burner not igniting
Catching burner not igniting early on a Imperial griddle is usually straightforward: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. The usual culprit is loose igniter wiring. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A weak spark electrode
- Failed spark module
- A dirty or wet igniter
- A faulty gas valve
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
Do this first — it takes two minutes: check whether other burners on the same unit ignite normally, which narrows the fault to one burner or the whole unit. Also, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. When that isn't the fix, 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.
