Why your Southbend griddle is burner not igniting
Catching burner not igniting early on a Southbend 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 failed spark module. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A faulty gas valve
- Clogged burner ports
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Failed spark module
Known Southbend griddle weak points
- pilot, thermocouple and gas safety-valve failures on ranges and ovens
- oven thermostat calibration drift causing uneven baking temperatures
- convection blower motor and door gasket wear on convection ovens
- spark ignition module and burner valve failures on gas sections
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. If none of that changes anything, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
