, Checkbatteryorientation,
, Has batterybeen used
previously?
, Checkto ensurebutton
assemblyis fully engaged.
Buttonshouldtravel up and
downwithoutbinding.
, If no sparksare generated
with newbatteryand good
wireconnections,moduleis
faulty,
, Are outputconnections on
and tight?
, Are the electrodetips
pointingin the right
direction?Is the gap too big?
, Are outputconnections on
and tight?
, If possible,observegrill in
darklocation.Operate
ignitionsystemand lookfor
arcingbetweenoutputwires
and grill frame,
, All sparkspresentbutweak
or at slow rate,
, Has moistureaccumulated
on electrodeand/orin burner
ports?
, Inspectelectrodesfor
cracks,
o Installbattery(makesure that"-" and "+"
connectors are orientedcorrectly,with "-" end up
and "+" enddown,)
, Replacebatterywith newAAA-sizealkalinebattery,
, Removebuttoncap assembly and reinstall,making
sureit canbe fully engaged,
, Replacespark moduleassembly,
, Removeand reconnectall outputconnections at
moduleand electrodes,
