page.
No gas flow.
Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP cylinder.
Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully
connected.
ELECTRICAL ISSUES:
Electrode cracked or broken; "sparks at
crack."
Electrode tip not in proper position.
Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking
residue.
Prevention/Solution
Turn OFF gas at LP cylinder. If anything got burned, replace
valve/hose/regulator. If burned, discontinue use of product until a
plumber has investigated cause and corrections are made.
Replace LP cylinder.
Turn OFF LP cylinder valve. Return LP cylinder to gas supplier.
Turn OFF LP cylinder valve. Remove regulator from cylinder and
visually inspect rubber seal for damage. See LP Cylinder Leak Test
and Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder.
Turn OFF control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold, remove
burner and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Natural Hazard and
Cleaning the Burner Assembly pages.
Turn OFF control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles and
excess grease from inside firebox area, grease tray and other
surfaces.
Prevention/Solution
See instructions on door panel and in Use and Care section.
Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.
Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other
matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.
Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty, refer
to "Sudden drop in Gas Flow."
Turn OFF knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder. Wait
30 seconds, reconnect and retry.
Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters
additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only-do not use tools.
Replace electrode(s).
Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. The distance should be 1/8" to 1/4". Adjust if necessary.
Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.
