First, disconnect the propane tank and remove the battery from the electronic ignition module. It will be found inside the cart, either behind the control panel or on the side panel.

To remove the existing switch you may need to detach the upfront control panel on the grill. Check your grill’s assembly manual for instructions.

Remove the electrodes one at a time by grasping them close to the connection. The fit will be snug, but you shouldn’t have to pull too vigorously.

Unscrew the nut either by hand or using a crescent wrench.

To install a new ignition button unscrew the nut. Place the button through the opening on your grill, aligning the tab on the top of the switch with the small hole above the opening. Then finger tighten the nut to from the back side.

To replace the electronic ignition module, disconnect the burner and igniter electrodes then unscrew the nut on the front where the battery is inserted.

Unscrew the cap and nut on the new module. If your model has one, place the module into the heat shield. Then finger tighten the nut back in place.

Replacing the electrodes is fairly straightforward. The important difference is the igniter connectors are wider than the burner connectors.

It doesn’t matter in which order they’re connected. You just need to make sure the electrode fits snuggly and is inserted all the way.

The main burners have notches to snap the electrode firmly in place.

The side burner electrode is attached through the bottom of the sideburner. Again, make sure it fits snuggly and is inserted all the way.

There is no specific order for attaching the electrodes to the module. You just need to be mindful that the two thicker connections are for the igniter and that all the electrodes fit snuggly.

Place a new double A battery into the module, positive side facing out and screw on the cap.

To test the ignition, press the button. You should here a snapping sound and see sparks at the burners.

Next, re-attach your propane tank and follow the standard start up procedure to get grilling.
