Why your griddle is not heating
It reaches a fraction of the setpoint and stalls there, so anything on a timed cook comes out raw in the middle on the griddle. Left alone, this usually escalates from one failed part to several.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A control board no longer firing the heat circuit
- 02A temperature sensor reporting bad data
- 03An igniter or gas valve that's failed
- 04A thermal fuse that's tripped and needs the root cause found
Quick checks worth doing
Do this before anything else: confirm power, that any gas valve is open, and try a full reset — off for 60 seconds before anything else. Second, listen or look for an ignition spark or click when it should be firing. Before you conclude anything, check the burner ports and the igniter tip for spilled food or residue you can clean off cold. If it's still acting up after that, heating elements, igniters, and gas valves combine high current or combustible gas — that combination is specialist territory, not a home fix.
We start with a complete diagnostic on the griddle, confirm the actual fault, then price it flat. The repair is backed by the labor and parts warranty once the cause is confirmed and put right.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a griddle
Every griddle in St. Augustine runs through months of heat and damp air, and that leaves a mark over the years. Corrosion on spark electrodes and exposed fasteners is the coastal signature here, ahead of any wear on the heat side. On a St. Augustine job we check for the wear this environment causes, so the fix holds past the next heat wave.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
What happens when a technician arrives?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
Are the parts genuine?
We fit OEM parts wherever the repair calls for them. Where a manufacturer part is discontinued we say so, and explain what the alternative is before fitting it.
What if the same issue comes back?
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.
How do I know if it is worth repairing?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
