Star Char-Broiler Burner Not Igniting in St. Augustine, FL

Why your Star char-broiler is burner not igniting
Here's how burner not igniting typically presents on a Star char-broiler: 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
- Loose igniter wiring
- A faulty gas valve
- Clogged burner ports
- Failed spark module
Known Star char-broiler 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 burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. Past that point, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
