Imperial Salamander Broiler Burner Not Igniting in St. Augustine, FL

Why your Imperial salamander broiler is burner not igniting
Catching burner not igniting early on a Imperial salamander broiler is usually straightforward: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. The usual culprit is a weak spark electrode. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A faulty gas valve
- Clogged burner ports
- Loose igniter wiring
- A dirty or wet igniter
- A weak spark electrode
Known Imperial salamander broiler 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
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. Should that not clear it, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
