What Is a 9V Spark Ignitor Module?
The ignitor module provides power to the ignitors, allowing them to produce the sparks that ignite the propane being emitted from the grill's burners. It produces the clicking sound when engaged by a user pressing the IGNITE button on the grill's controller UI board.

Where Is the Ignitor Module Located on the Grill?
The ignitor module is located next to the motherboard on the control panel housing, which is located within the griddle's control housing underneath the grill. It attaches to the control housing panel using two Phillips screws.
How Does the Ignitor Module Work?
The ignitor module receives power from the power panel and delivers said power to the griddle's three ignitors.
How Does the Ignitor Module Receive Power?
The 9V spark ignitor gets power from the motherboard via the ignitor harness.
The motherboard gets power from the power panel in one of two ways, depending on the power source (see Flatrock Wiring below for a comprehensive wiring diagram):
-
Outlet: Outlet > power cord > power panel > Transformer to power switch harness > transformer > transformer harness > motherboard > ignitor harness > 9V ignitor module
- Outlet power delivers power to all grill components
-
9V Battery: 9V battery > power panel > motherboard > 9V ignitor module
- 9V battery power powers only the ignitor module.
- The connecting wires that connect the battery to the motherboard are a part of the power panel. This connection engages only when powered by a 9V battery.
Ignitor Module Connections
Connected to the 9V spark ignitor module are the ignitors and the ignitor harness.
The ignitors connect directly into the ignitor module. It doesn't matter which ignitor goes in which ignitor slot on the ignitor module.
The ignitor harness connects the motherboard to the ignitor module. Placement of these wires does matter.
