How to speed up grill ignition

You don't give make/model/year etc but can you light the oven manually with a taper?
Did you have an owners book with it?
I take it the igniter works the top burners?

ignition probably serves both, if clicking when not lighting, fault or sticking button

This should not be a problem as the setup is it doesn't know which gas knob has been turned on, therefore the oven and grill spark to ignite either .

Hope this is helpful

PS if I had known the make and model number you can probably get a manual online.

For anyone experiencing this issue, grill won't stay alight or it does but goes out after few seconds or minutes and won't stay running. this item is so overlooked however check the FSD is actually in the flame and getting hot, check your flame is consistent the same size burn across all the burner and if you changed the FSD and checked its all in order then its the grill door micro switch. yes there is a small microswitch that cuts off the circuit to the FSD and shuts gas off if the door is closed. This microswitch goes bad from the heat and causes the issue.

Normally the grill is completely separate to the oven. Press the ignitor before you turn on the grill, as, to ignite, oxygen needs to be present (ie: not flooded with gas) . and you should be able to see the spark from the ignitor in the grill. if you can't, then you may have problems with your ignition pack or ignition leads.

Hello, rob

I was trying to help you out here. Maybe this will help some? I was going back to some customers that asked questions in the recent past and even farther back. It appeared that no one answered some of them, So, I thought I would take some of my personal time to see if I can help. Even though this Informational site may not have your exact model or brand, this site will help you a lot. Here is a site link about everything you want to know about ovens and possibly yours, from repair to trouble shooting it. Now go easy on me, I am just trying to help. If it does great if not, I am sorry.

Hi it could be the element on the grill it maybe burning out, what slows the grill to get hot quicker. best to turn of the mains or by the main switch. and get a toorch to check around the element or use a continental reader check if it is receving 240volts

Hi.

If this is an electric model, test the upper element.Before replacement the element can be tested removing it from the cavity and reading Ohms at the element terminals, with a multimeter set at Rx1. Disconnect power before removing the element.

If this is a gas oven, and the grill igniter is working, then test wiring to valve, valve solenoid and safety switch.

Regards.

if the grill is constant sparking when the oven was on and turns off when the oven is not in use then u either have a defective pcb/ht lead or electrode if it is self lighting or if you have to push in a button then this button or control will have a problem
