Wells Griddle 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 Wells griddles across St. Augustine. You get a two-hour arrival window, not a vague 'sometime today'.
Why your Wells griddle is burner not igniting
Catching burner not igniting early on a Wells griddle is usually straightforward: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. On this platform it's most often loose igniter wiring. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- Failed spark module
- A faulty gas valve
- Loose igniter wiring
Known Wells griddle weak points
- Ventless system filter loading and airflow faults tripping the unit
- Hot-well and griddle heating element and thermostat failures
- Drawer-warmer element and control failures
- Fryer auto-lift and thermostat malfunctions
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Worth checking yourself first: 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. If none of that changes anything, 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.
