This video from Sears PartsDirect shows you what to do when your gas grill won't light.

1. Check the propane
Make sure the valve on the propane tank is fully open. Turn the valve counterclockwise to open it. If the valve's open, check the propane level in the tank. Refill the tank if it's empty or nearly empty.
2. Check the battery
If the ignition system isn't sparking, check the battery if your grill igniter uses one. If the grill lights after you replace the igniter battery, you've solved the problem.
3. Check if the burners are getting gas
Try to light the grill using a lighter.
* If the burner won't light, go to the next step.
* If the burner lights, skip to step 8.
4. Reset the pressure regulator
The pressure regulator has an internal flow-limiting device that prevents gas flow from the tank when it detects a leak. Sometimes this device trips in error. Here’s how to reset it.
--Open the grill lid and turn off all burners.
--Shut off the tank valve and disconnect the supply hose..
--Turn on all the burner knobs fully. Wait 2 minutes for the gas to clear from the lines lines.
--Turn the burner knobs off and reconnect the supply hose.
--Slowly open the tank valve and wait 30 seconds for the gas pressure to equalize. Try lighting the burners. If the burners light, a tripped flow-limiting device is the problem.
5. Check for a leak
Because a gas leak can make the device trip, check all gas line connections:
--Shut off all gas grill burners and the tank valve. Llet the grill cool.
--Mix a 50/50 solution of dishwashing liquid and water. Brush the mix on all gas line connections.
--Open the tank valve. Soap bubbles forming around a gas line connection indicate a leak.
--Shut the tank valve and tighten the connection or replace the leaking component. Wipe the soapy solution off the connections after testing for leaks.
6. Check the burners.
If the burners don't light after resetting the pressure regulator, check the burners for clogs, corrosion and misalignment.
--Shut off the tank valve and open all burner valves.
--Wait 2 minutes to allow gas to dissipate and then shut all burner valves.
-- Remove the grates and flame tamers and examine the burners for corrosion. Replace any corroded burners.
-- Use a wire brush to clear debris from burner ports.
--Disconnect the carryover tubes from the burners. Remove the cotter pins and pull the burners off. Clean the inside of the burner tubes by bending a small hook on the end of a stiff wire like a straightened coat hanger. Run the hook through each burner tube several times to clear out clogs.
If the burners still won’t light, replace the pressure regulator and hose assembly. Watch our video called “How to replace a gas pressure regulator.” • Replacing a Pressure R...
7. Check for spills on the burner and igniter.
If you lit the grill using a lighter in step 3, check for spills on the burner and igniter that could interfere with sparking. Clean off spills or residue from the burner and igniter. If your grill has more than one igniter electrode, check all the electrodes for sparking.
8. Check the wiring connections.
If only one burner isn't sparking, check the wiring connections between the spark module and the electrode for the igniter that isn't working. Reconnect or repair any broken wires that you find. If none of the igniters sparks, check the wiring on all of them and replace or repair any broken wires you find.
9. Check for cracks in the insulator.
If you didn't find any wiring problems, pull out each electrode and check its insulator for cracks. A crack in an insulator can cause the spark to go through the crack to the frame of the grill instead of sparking at the burner to ignite the gas. Replace the igniter electrode for any insulator that has a crack.
10. Check the spark module.
If the insulators are okay, the spark module could be defective. Use a multimeter to check for DC voltage between the electrode and the burner.
With the meter set to check DC voltage, touch one probe to the electrode prong and the other probe to the burner tube, then press the ignition button.
--If you don't measure any voltage, remove the spark module from the grill frame. First, remove the cap, battery and mounting nut, then disconnect the wires. Reinstall the battery and cap and touch one probe to the spark module spade and the other probe to bare metal on the grill.
--If you measure no DC voltage, replace the spark module.

Goodness. This was one of the best troubleshooting videos ever. He literally covered every step. Thanks
This video should be included with every purchase of a new BBQ grill. It's one of the best tutorial videos on You Tube. Thank you sir.
This is easily the best troubleshooting video I’ve ever seen, period. The moment I saw this guy I knew he was the real deal. Thank you, o’ nameless grill swami 🙏
😂🤣😍
Great information
I was going to basically say the same thing, so I'll just join in here. Seriously, best video I've ever seen in terms of logical flow and solid information. It was like I was hearing an audio flowchart of the debug procedure!
@@scottbierly3398 Exactly, Scott! Sounds like you have an engineering background as well.
Wade just saved me a minimum of $200. After following his instructions, I found that my ignition wasn't lighting. He showed me how to remove the grill and heat plates, and clean the igniter and burners with a toothbrush. VOILA! It worked! I'm so happy! Thanks, Wade! This is the most comprehensive and easy site I found.
Probably the best troubleshooting video I've ever seen! This gentleman should be a teacher. Thank you for your attention to detail and for posting!
Wish every video tutorial was this straight forward and this good.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I was all set to buy a new grill, but just on a whim did a search for a fix-it guide online. Yours was the first video that came up. On it I learned the pressure regulator needed to be reset, followed your instructions and bingo, it's working just fine now. You saved me a lot of money.
Sears, I'm grateful for this. I really hope you guys can pull through.
This is one of the clearest, most concise repair videos I have ever seen.
This may be the greatest tutorial video I've ever seen. Nicely done!
I was thinking the same thing! What a professional. 👏
No battery lol
Great video, super helpful, straightforward, simple, no douchebag gimmicks. 10/10
this is one of the best and most helpful videos I've seen on trouble shooting grill. Thank you sir.
This video is extremely well done, easy to follow, gets to the point and I feel confident he knows what he's talking about! Thank you!!
Anyone with a beard like that knows what he is doing lol
I’m 15 learning how to use a grill and last time I used it I turned of the gas first then the burners so when I tried starting it up again, it wouldn’t light. But thanks to you I was able to reset it and get it to work again👍🏼
Great video in 7 minutes. I watched an 11 minUte Video on just how to replace a battery. This was very thorough.

I know everyone has already said this but what a great tutorial. Thank you, all of RUclips should take notes.
Thank you! This man is a true professional and knows his STUFF!
I don't usually like or comment in videos, but that part about the flow limiting device helped me a bunch, I was frustrated how a tank I just got last week barely got the burners running, watching your video helped me figure out that was the problem. Thank you and God bless
I just ordered a new ignitor. $10 on Amazon. My Char Broil was only 3 years old, I replaced the battery, and used Deoxit for the electronics inside the igniter cavity. Still No clicking etc. This is a great video on everything.
This is the kind of youtube video that needs to be shown in high school as part of the curriculum.
Wayne, this was great and just what I needed to get my grill running again. Thanks!
So helpful. Thanks to this video/gentleman I got my grill going. It feels so good to make a fix without needing to ask

The regulator trick right at the beginning saved me from having to put my bbq on the curb. Great vid. Tyvm.
Well done. Lots of good info.
Lit with a lighter! Memorial Day saved! Thanks!
This video was made just before Sears went belly-up, although Sears PartsDirect still exists.
This guy was super helpful!!!
Outstanding educational video!!!! 5 stars!!!!!
Worked great - thank you!
seeing how you used the multimeter I know I went wrong having mine on DC 20v and touching it's wires to both starter terminals. Now, blank screen when turned on and yes fuse ok.
I have to agree. Thank you. After listening to your video I learned that I needed to replace the regulator which costs $27.00 compared to $300 for a new BBQ.
Thanks for the video!
Educational, Thank You so much!
I turned it off and back on again
And it worked 😁
Thank you 😊
This video is so helpful. Ty!!
