Ignition Module

The unit uses an ignition module to supply power 
for the igniters.  A 9VDC battery is used to supply 
the power.  Once the ignition switch is depressed, 
voltage is sent to the igniters and a spark is 
generated. 

To access the ignition module:

1.  

Access control panel components

 

 (see Control Panel Components Access section). 
Disconnect wiring and remove control panel.

2.   Locate ignition module(s).

3. Remove two screws securing ignition module.

.

4.   Slide module out and disconnect wiring.

5.   Reverse procedure to reassemble.

Each position provides spark to a different 
component of the grill. Verify the 9 VDC battery is 
proper.  If voltage is proper and no spark is present 
at the igniter, check the switch, igniter, and wiring.  
If all check good, replace the module.
