Hi, I installed it in my CharBroil 2 burner Commercial infrared. it doesn't ignite. wired it just like the one I took out. Any help with the wiring?

I bought this device and it was different than the device installed originally. I have a two burner grill and installed two wires (one each from the two ignitors) into the two leftmost connectors on the back of the unit. Also, the ignition switch on the front of the grill becomes obsolete with this install. The battery cover of this unit now acts as a push button ignitor. Hope this helps.

If there isn't a good ground connection then it won't work.Also, be aware of battery polarity.

Mine worked for a week and stopped working...not a happy camper(Make sure your battery is in the right direction, it should spark by pressing button w/o being connected)

Problem could be very, but check the ignitor to see if it is too close to the burner and did not make enough spark, the other thing to check is to make sure the wire is ground, otherwise it will not spark.

Sorry for the delay. Yuou put it out by removing the burner inside the unit. It's real easy actually, but you have to use gloves or a flameproof object to remove it because it will be hot. Then just set it down and let it go out. It just glows then goes out. Another problem is that the burner fits loose on the top and it always falls off. Not worth it to me. Hope this info helps

If the light AND heated failed simultaneously you might have overloaded the circuit breaker. My electrician put in a whole new circuit for the heater wiring so as to not overload the existing light/exhaust fan wiring. I read some reviews of the Broan unit before buying. A few folks reported the heating element failing shortly after installation. I've had mine for almost a year and use the heater regularly. So far no problem. Good luck.

No you have to provide your own. And as long as I'm responding to this question I will also steer you clear of buying this model. I bought one from Char Broil direct last fall and absolutely loved it so much I wanted another one for my cabin. I price shopped and decided on getting this one. NOT THE SAME QUALITY AT ALL. Go directly to he Char Broil Website, a live chat person will come on and sometimes they can offer you a a better price and free shipping. For the extra money I would get a TRU Infrared 3 Burner from the Performance line. You will LOVE it.

Hello Melissa,I parted out this unit on a Char-Broil grill a year ago and so far it is fine. I have found I need to replace the battery every year and make certain no water or grease penetrate the igniter. Hope this is of some value for you. Jeff

I've done both and it works fine. Just make sure if you put them around the burner they don't impede the flame or gas flow. This can cause hot or cold spots and/or difficult lighting.

Not Silver C -- the one with the side burner as it doesn't come with a second place to connect a black wire. The problem I was needing to address was with the broken gas catcher and it did fit perfectly. I just re-used the old igniter and white wiring. Maybe one for Silver C exists, but I haven't found it yet.

There are two other things to check...first is the timer control assy. If this fails to work you will get no heating. And the next and last would be the heating element. Do you use this alot? How old is your unit? Feel free to send me more questions if you need further help as I'm an power plant engineer by trade.

Hi Joe--Naw, it doesn't appear that you can. It is possible to light the burners with a match if the electronic igniters were to fail, but the range must still be receiving power. When I trip the circuit breaker at the fuse box and try to light the burners by hand, I can't. There must be some kind of annoying "safety" feature that shuts off the gas to the burners if the unit loses electrical power--Chris

I have this same unit, and I just did this test. I turned it on with a medium blue flame, tilted it 45 degrees, and ran it for two minutes. No problems at all. It worked fine.

I'm assuming that the blower is not coming on both before and after you replaced the control board. Ensure the jumpers are in the correct configuration and there is power to the board. Test the motor by directly connecting it to 120VAC. If the motor works, the board is installed correctly and it has power then the next thing to check would be the plenum temperature sensor. That is the "enable" for the motor. Does the gas burner come on for a while and then shut off?

yes this worked on mine.... but you will find out that you have to completely disassemble the furnace to get the old out and new one in..... pay attention when you take it apart. you will prob tear the exhaust gasket to the heat exchanger so order that also. my burner was in bad shape so replaced burner, gasket, and motor.... been working great all thru fall and winter ... much quieter than before. just take your time and snap some pictures. should definitely made far easier to swap motors that what you're about to go thru. don't take any chances with the gasket.... its not worth dieing over a ten dollar part.

when your furnace starts the ignitor should glow if not has to be replaced it could be your flame sensor

I don't know, why doesn't it fire? Did you insert the ignitor and plug into the engine? Did you then attach the two cables for the firing remote, insert the plug in the remote....hold down the plug for the light to come on and press the fire button?

What I did was take off the previous ignitor and looked at the part # on it. It's pretty easy there is usually a screw that is holding it in place. After removing the screw and ignitor carefully u simply unplug from the connector. Look at part # and verify it's the one your ordering. Very easy process and saved me about 200 $

This looks like the one that is on my Rudd Sihouette furnace. However, mine's rather old, and previous techs have cut the plug and wire nutted it in place, so it can work. Just make sure to not touch the ignition with your bare hand because oils from your hand can make it prematurely burn up. I'm not a HVAC tech, just a DIYer that is tired of being charged 175$ to replace a 15$ part.

Diane, I have no idea. So sorry. I've just figured out how to make it work on a standard electric burner and it works very well. Good luck in your search for answers!
