Star Griddle Not Heating in Orange Park, FL
Appliance runs but doesn't reach set temperature. Failed heating element, igniter, or thermal fuse. We fix this on Star griddles across Orange Park. Emergency slots stay open daily for breakdowns that can't wait.

Why your Star griddle is not heating
Catching not heating early on a Star griddle is usually straightforward: appliance runs but doesn't reach set temperature. Failed heating element, igniter, or thermal fuse. Nine times out of ten it comes down to failed igniter or gas valve. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Faulty temperature sensor
- A broken door switch cutting the heat circuit
- Tripped thermal fuse
- Failed igniter or gas valve
- Burned-out heating element
Known Star griddle weak points
- griddle thermostat and thermocouple failures causing no or uneven heat
- electric griddle/charbroiler element burnout
- uneven plate heating from failed burners on gas units
- pilot and gas-valve issues on gas charbroilers
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: confirm the griddle has power, any gas supply valve is open, and a simple reset — power off 60 seconds, back on — doesn't restore heat. If none of that changes anything, no spark or flame usually means the igniter or gas valve itself has failed, and gas-carrying parts are restricted to licensed work in most jurisdictions.
How we fix it
We trace the not heating on your Star griddle to its source instead of throwing parts at it. OEM parts are widely available through the Middleby/Star network and Parts Town; gas charbroiler repairs need a licensed technician. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.
