Product Information
Description:
This item is sourced from the original manufacturer to be used with outdoor gas grills from Napoleon. The electrode wire connects to the ignitor wire and is mounted near the burner tube. The electrode uses the electric charge from the ignitor to create an electric arc against the burner that lights the fuel that is emitted by the burner. This item is available as an individual replacement part, please note the ignitor is a separate item. |

Time Spent Repairing:
30-60 minutes
Tools Used:
Nutdriver
igniter not working - irregular flame
1) remove grill grates
2) remove sear plates
3) using 1/4" socket or nut driver remove 2 screws at rear of burner midway between right and left burners
4) lift up old burner at rear and slide out
5) reverse process to reinstall
If installing a new igniter:
1) remove old igniter gripping the outside and turning counter clockwise, remove hex nut and slide out from under the grill. pull wires from old to install on new, reverse process to install.
If installing new main burner electrode:
1) with igniter out bend back electrode shield and remove 1/4 inch screw, unplug wire from igniter, remove old electrode and reverse process to reinstall.
***I recommend doing all together and it is wise to inspect the drip pan prior to ordering!! It slides out from under the grill with the doors open and is very likely to be rusted. Get all your parts at once and do the whole job in under an hour! Like a new grill!!
