Why your Star griddle is burner not igniting
When a Star griddle 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. On this platform it's most often clogged burner ports. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Clogged burner ports
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Failed spark module
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
Before booking a repair, check whether other burners on the same unit ignite normally, which narrows the fault to one burner or the whole unit. Also, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. Beyond that, if it still won't spark, the igniter, spark module, or gas valve is at fault, and gas components aren't a homeowner repair by code in most areas.
