Imperial Deep Fryer Burner Not Igniting in St. Augustine, FL

Why your Imperial deep fryer is burner not igniting
When a Imperial deep fryer is burner not igniting, here's what you'll usually notice: 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 clogged burner ports. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Loose igniter wiring
- Failed spark module
- A weak spark electrode
- Clogged burner ports
Known Imperial deep fryer 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
Worth checking yourself first: check whether other burners on the same unit ignite normally, which narrows the fault to one burner or the whole unit. If that doesn't fix it, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
