How to Replace a Weber Genesis Grill Ignition Module 

Super helpful. Thanks so much got it up and running again put another 10 years of life in this thing! Cheers.

I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience ru-vid.comUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.

Ditto to all the preceding, positive comments. That's my grill. That's my part. Weber was kind enough to send me a new one, for free, for my five year old grill. Was surprised to find a battery in the starter and thought, I'm a genius, this will be easy. But no, the new battery did nothing. Was very helpful to see you walk thru the process. Many thanks!

Thank you! Clear and to the point. Love your cat in the background!

Great video! Got my problem fixed 57 seconds into this video. I did not know there was a battery on the igniter... Lit right up after replacing battery.

That was great. Thanks. Weber is sending me a new ignition module, and I wll watch your video again before installing.

straight to the point and nicely done. Thank's for the "grillparts" tip too!

Nice video but you may have wasted $50 and a half hour of work. I had the same problem a week after washing my grill and watched your video. I tried popping the battery and like you found a bit of rust and corrosion. Looked inside the battery housing tube with a flashlight and saw that the terminal was also rusty. I hot glued a circle of sandpaper to the tip of a wood dowel and rotated it inside the housing for a minute. and then blew out the dust. Popped in a fresh battery and voila! Celebrated a few hours later with some Costco prime ribeyes with the money I saved. Had the corrosion been there much longer and gotten worse this may not have worked but a 10 minute no-cost fix is worth a try.

Thank you…followed your instructions and now it works like new ! Great video !!

Same here - eating at home a lot lately and this became a crucial fix!

Great video! I only needed to replace my module as well. Didn't know it would be this easy. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for doing this. Solved my problem for much less than I'm sure it would have cost to have someone else service it. Would have had no idea how to fix it without your vid. Works fine now.

You are AWESOME for putting up this video!! I was about to follow the instructions on the igniter replacement manual which looks like a 5 hour job with 2 people dismantling the entire grill, but I saw your video and replaced it in less than 5 minutes!! Perhaps I would have figured out to just pull out the wires and replace the igniter box only but I put this off for almost a year intimidated by the ridiculous manual. Thank you for showing me the easy way!

Super helpful. Just changed mine out in less than 5 minutes. Thanks!!!

Thanks bro... You just remind me the fact that there was a battery to change in this device. I a ashamed... I was about to order a new ignition kit. But it now works like brand new.

Thank you so much taking the time to upload this video!! I feel so much more comfortable changing my ignition now.!!!

Just got a replacement and looked at the directions - thought it was going to be easier to buy a new grill. But with this video in hand, done in 10 minutes. Thank YOU!

Great instructions one of the best self help videos that I have used, probably the BEST. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!

Definetley the most helpful video I was able to find. Keep making great content!

Great video. Replaced my part without any issues. Used your reference for the part too. The company was easy to work with. Thanks.

Thanks so much! Like a previous poster, I had not thought about the battery!

Thanks - easiest repair I ever made!

Thank you sir! Received the part today and replaced it in less than 5 mins after watching your video. Replaced battery first but that didn't work. Now it lights up like brand new.

Good job. My Weber is 20 yrs old. One push start every time. Then again I rebuilt the whole thing twice over

I also have a Genesis E310, did exactly what the video shows (replaced only the igniter module and left the original wires and burner attachments in place), and it worked perfectly!!!

Thank you so much! Saved me a lot of guess work. Worked just as you showed.

Perfect- if I didn't watch this it would have taken me an hour and I would have screwed it up! Great instruction, short and to the point.

Thanks very much, you made it very easy for me!

I had water in my ignition module - simply took it off and put into a bowl of rice for a day or 2 to pull out the moisture. Reassembled and now it works great. Thanks for the video!

Thank you.............video is outstanding and help me resolve ignition issue

Exactly what I needed to fix mine....thx

Thanks! Really helpful

Ha!! I followed YOUR instructions and I did it!!! Surprised the snot out of my husband too!! Thanks! PS -- I had to replace the push button module (which came in the package) and there were several more "piece parts" in the package that I did not even use -- I felt like a real guy just for this!! LOL!! 😆

wOW! I didn't know there was a battery. I ordered a module. Thank you for showing how easy it was to change the module.

Thank you so much! You saved us $$$. It was so easy to clean too!

Great video, thanks for taking the time.

Thanks! Just what I needed!

Great video and good angle!

Just saved my grill brotha! Much appreciated!

Thanks for posting. I was able to fix without replacing. If you are still getting some weak clicks intermittently, try cleaning the battery terminals. Mine were a little dirty and now after cleaning the ignitor is firing like new.

All set now, thanks!

Thank you! My exact same grill.

Thanks for doing this video. Boom done.

Good job! Thank you!

Good stuff and easy to understand! You should train others on how to keep it simple.

Great video. Thx!

Thanks. Really helpful. Manual didn't show how to do this clearly.

Thank you so much!

I gave u one like just because you're a Harley guy and you look like a patriot...Good video

Great video. Thanks. I just ordered mine to replace as well.

Thank you!

That was terrific. Take the rest of the week off!

Check the battery first. I had no idea there was a battery in there (ignition button). Replaced my factory issued battery and then my grill worked. It's a simple fix before you start tearing the grill apart. My grill was only a few years old though...

thanks much!

Thank you for posting.

Thanks!

Good video....however I would have tested it before I put it all back together to make sure that took care of the problem!

Great,

👍🏼

Naked wines.com is a scam/subscription deal. Smart to 86 the card. Good video sir!

Easy.

So, I ordered the replacement part only to find out the screws to remove the plate on the grill won't budge. Grrr! Any suggestions for loosening or even tapping these screws? I've tried every Phillips head screw driver imaginable.

I misplaced the 2 screws that secure the Access /panel. Could you possibly tell me what size they are? Great video BTW!

Check the integrity of the push button first.

The cat looked to get inside right before you ignited.
