My boss used to light patio BBQ? I have a brand new barbecue, barbecue is a cheap, it does not light. I feel the propane, but no spark, it wont even light manually. Please help?
I do not understand why he does not turn on manually, unless you try to ignite the wrong place.
The fact that you can feel the gas indicates that you are trying to turn the wrong place, and perhaps also why there is no spark ignition if the area is blocked by an electrically conductive material / debris.
I would first take all the coals "to inspect the aircraft.
It is possible that the ignition electrode is either too far apart for a spark occurs, or must be close or short-circuited.
Once you investigate a little further, you should be able to solve your problem.
Good luck.
Make sure the igniter sparks indeed and that tubes are correctly entered on the burner hoses from the faucets. Wait a few minutes with the lid open before trying again.
Check the burner. Bugs and could fall and block the flow of gas to the burner, allowing the gas to escape at the wrong place. Pull the burner and clean!
