Why your griddle is burner not igniting
The igniter clicks steadily but no flame catches, or it lights and drops out again within a few seconds — that is the griddle reporting something specific, not a vague fault.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01Loose wiring at the igniter
- 02Burner ports clogged with residue
- 03A spark electrode that's weakening
- 04A spark module that's failed
- 05An igniter that's dirty or damp
Quick checks worth doing
Before booking anyone, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled residue. And check whether other burners on the same unit fire normally, which narrows it to one burner or the whole unit. The measurement worth taking: put an oven thermometer on the middle rack, preheat fully, and read the difference against the dial. If it's still acting up after that, a gas valve or spark module fault means live gas and ignition components, which is restricted work almost everywhere.
A trained tech works through the griddle systematically to pin down what's really causing the burner not igniting. Whichever of these it turns out to be, the reading taken on site is what decides the part — not the symptom on its own.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a griddle
The St. Augustine climate is the variable no spec sheet accounts for when it rates a griddle. Igniters, burner caps, and exposed steel corrode faster in salt air, which is why coastal units need that attention sooner than inland ones. So on a St. Augustine repair we don't stop at the failed part — we check what the climate is quietly wearing down next.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
When is a replacement the better call?
You will be told plainly. There is no value to us in selling a repair that will not hold, and the diagnosis is what makes that call — not the age on the badge.
What happens when a technician arrives?
A technician diagnoses a griddle that is burner not igniting at component level, confirms the cause by measurement, and walks you through the finding before any part is touched.
Do you use OEM parts?
Genuine parts where the repair calls for them — and an honest answer when a component is discontinued and the only route is an equivalent.
