Modern Home Products Triple Electronic Ignitor- IGEIB3B

Description

TRIPLE SPADE OUTLET ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULE

Features:

• Triple male spade output terminals on the back side
• Soft rubber top push button with chrome finish bezel
• Requires a 3/4 or 13/16 mounting hole
• Uses one AAA battery, (not included)

To ensure you choose the correct replacement part for your grill, we recommend removing the original part and comparing it to what we list. You can also check your owners manual to make sure this part will work with your grill.

If you do not hear any clicking when you push the ignitor button, it may be time to replace the battery.

To access the battery, unscrew the ignitor push button and collar. Remove the old battery. If you see any corrosion in the battery compartment it can be removed by wrapping a small piece of sandpaper around the eraser end of a pencil and using that to scrape off the corrosion.

Install a new AAA battery into the battery compartment, positive (+) side down. Replace the push button and collar.

Troubleshooting

Ignitor System

If you experience an occasional No-spark-no-light condition heres a checklist to troubleshoot the problem.

Inspection

• • WITH GAS OFF, position a mirror in front of the collector box and press ignitor button. Observe the condition of the spark. (Low light conditions are the best for seeing the spark.)
    
    
    
  • If theres a good spark, but the grill wont light, gas may not be flowing to the burner and into the collector box. The gas orifice or the venturi tube may be blocked.
    
    
    

    A good spark will spark at the top

  • If a weak spark arcs down around the ceramic insulator, the insulator should be cleaned. The insulator has a coating grease or it is wet. Use an old toothbrush to break up the conductive electric path.

If there is no spark in the collector box

• • Check the wire connectionsat the ignitor and electrode under the grill.
    

• • Check spark. Pull the connector wire from the collector box. Bring wire to bottom or top of the control panel, hold about 1/8 away and operate the ignitor. Check for spark. If there is no spark, first replace the battery. If there still isnt a spark, replace the electric ignitor. If there is a spark the Electric Ignitor is OK, but the Collector Box/Electrode assembly should be replaced (the ceramic insulator could be cracked).
    

• • Make sure ignitor button module is tight on the control panel. If it is loose, a good ground will not be attained.

If the ignitor is not clicking

• Check or change the ignitor battery
• Check the ground wire. For the ignitor to work properly, the ground wire must be in contact with the metal control panel.
