Save Hundreds $$$ - Fix your grill igniter! 

If all else fails, read the instructions 😁 Much easier if you remove the knobs and front panel ( 2 screws ), then remove the rail cover plate ( 2 screws ), the ignition electrodes just a slide fit. You don’t need to remove the burners and mess with air mixtures.

Check the battery first, but if it's a good battery, before you buy a whole new igniter kit, read this: When a new battery didn't fix the igniter, I took a minute to double check the battery compartment. Looked like the contact for the negative side of the battery (the contact inside the igniter box) was kind of dull. The way I cleaned it was to cut a thin strip of course sandpaper and wrap it lengthwise around the eraser end of a pencil, stuck it in the battery tube and rubbed away until the contact was all bright and shiny. Reinstalled the battery and voile: Working igniter! Hope this helps some of you avoid messing with new igniters and wires. I like to keep it simple!

I rebuilt mine approximately a week ago clean the burner tubes all nine yards. Replace the igniter and the porcelain probes.. After doing all this and cleaning it thoroughly I was still having a problem lighting two of the burners. What I came across is the probe sensors to the porcelain housings we're at a 12° angle to the vent tubes of the burners, giving a spark but not very strong. I then proceeded to readjust these with the screwdriver between the the burner and the underside of the porcelain probe adjusting the probes to 90°. I then retested it and long behold instant spark and flame! 😀 The girl has never worked as good from day one as it does now. I don't know the purpose of the igniting rods being at an angle but nevertheless if anybody has this problem readjust the rods below the porcelain igniters carefully not damaging them and you will note that the results are well worth it.

Thanks for posting. I will be replacing mine Monday! You're the best! God bless!!

Don't you think it would've been better to clean the inside of the grill while all the burners were removed?

Great video thank you change mine it was a breeze

Thank you!

Are the igniters suppose to be secured to the burners? I bought one used and they’re just laying on top of the burner.

Check the battery first. My Genesis grill had a factory issued battery in the ignitor button. I unscrewed it and saw that my battery was a little corroded. I replaced it with a new battery and then the grill ignitor worked. Simple check & fix before you start tearing the grill apart. I got lucky because my grill was fairly new so wires and other parts were in good shape.

I misplaced the screws that secure the Access Panel. Could you tell which size they are?

Thanks great. I have exact similar model in these video, but i have a PROBLEM .. the flame is to poor in all burner in max regulation, i don't know whats is the problem, the gas hose? I try different gas tank, Can you help me, thanks

No need to remove the tubes. This can be done easier by removing the control panel. 2 screws and lift up.

My favorite part is the surprise guest appearance by Taylor 😆

Thanks, this will save me time. Just wondering if I should install the module and reuse the old wires to the burners.

Mine did the same thing after 5 years. I just sanded the corrosion off the electrode in the cap where the battery goes. This fixed the problem. Also check for corrosion on the positive electrode. Hope this saves you even more money.

Good vid, thank you . That grill is some nasty though.

You don't need to remove any of the burners to remove the front cover! There is a Phillip screw located near the top hinge of each door (two total). Remove these and simply lift off the cover after pulling off the knobs. Super easy and much less work. Other than that, nice video.

That was very entertaining. Can you do another video topless !!

You probably needed to replace the battery!

Can you still ignite the barbecue with an in-op igniter, the old-fashioned way?

You only need to replace the spark generator box.

How do I know it's the igniter and not the gas regulator.

Clean your grill once in a while. It will run smooth

bwahaha you only needed to replace the box lol
