The ignitor is the component of a flat top grill that creates sparks to ignite the propane coming from the grill's burner.

  • Pliers

Estimated Time to Complete

  • 10 minutes

Replacement Steps

Before Performing Any Replacement Steps:

  • Turn burner knobs to OFF position, close the propane tank, and disconnect the regulator
  • Open the lid and remove the cooktop
  1. Disconnect the burner that the ignitor being replaced is attached to by removing the 2 screws.

  2. Lift up the burner enough to access the ignitor wire connection.
  3. Remove the wire by sliding it off the back of the ignitor.

    Pro Tip: You can use pliers to grip the connector, so you don't have to pull on the wire and risk damaging it.
