Why your Star griddle is not heating
A Star griddle that is not heating tends to show the same signs: appliance runs but doesn't reach set temperature. Failed heating element, igniter, or thermal fuse. More often than not it traces back to a bad control board. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Faulty temperature sensor
- Tripped thermal fuse
- Failed igniter or gas valve
- Burned-out heating element
- A broken door switch cutting the heat circuit
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 you call anyone, confirm the griddle has power, any gas supply valve is open, and a simple reset — power off 60 seconds, back on — doesn't restore heat. Also, check whether an ignition click or spark is audible at all when it should be heating. If it's still acting up after that, no spark or flame usually means the igniter or gas valve itself has failed, and gas-carrying parts are restricted to licensed work in most jurisdictions.

OEM parts are widely available through the Middleby/Star network and Parts Town; gas charbroiler repairs need a licensed technician.

“Our Star griddle quit on us and they had a technician out the same afternoon in St. Augustine. Clean, on-time, and they took the old part with them. Would call again.”
