Pitco Deep Fryer Burner Not Igniting in St. Augustine, FL
Surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. We fix this on Pitco deep fryers across St. Augustine. Our trucks run this area every day, so next-day is the norm and same-day is common.
Why your Pitco deep fryer is burner not igniting
Catching burner not igniting early on a Pitco deep fryer 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
- Failed spark module
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Clogged burner ports
- Loose igniter wiring
Known Pitco deep fryer weak points
- pilot will not stay lit due to a weak or dirty thermocouple/thermopile
- high-limit trips from a failed thermostat or temperature probe (oil overheating)
- gas valve failure or millivolt-system dropout preventing burner ignition
- clogged or worn oil filter pump reducing filtration performance
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. Beyond that, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
