Official Kenmore Elite outdoor grill parts

Most common Kenmore Elite gas grill parts that need replacing

1. Electric spark control module. The electric spark control module creates a spark that arcs to the burner to ignite the gas when the burner is on. The electric spark control module has either a battery or a piezoelectric system.
2. Wheels. The wheels on the gas grill make it easier to move.
3. Igniter electrode. The igniter electrode receives electrical current from the igniter module and produces a spark between the tip of the electrode and the burner to light the gas during the ignition process.
4. Main burner. The main burner of a gas grill is a metal tube with small holes on each side that distributes the gas through the holes to create an even flame across the cooking area. The gas grill main burner is mounted in the fire box, under the grates and flavor bars.

What to do when your Kenmore Elite outdoor grill isn't getting hot enough

Problems with gas flow can keep a gas grill from getting hot enough. First, make sure there's plenty of gas in the tank. The diminished gas flow from a nearly empty tank won't supply the burners with enough gas to heat properly. Our video shows how to check the level of propane in a tank. If the tank's full but gas won't flow freely to the burners, reset the pressure regulator. Replace the pressure regulator if it won't allow gas to flow properly to the grill after resetting the regulator.

Clogs inside the burner tubes or spills covering the burner tube ports can also inhibit heating. Clean the burner tubes so the burners heat properly and replace any damaged burner tubes. Perform routine maintenance on your grill to help keep the burners working efficiently. Also check and adjust the alignment of the burner tubes to the gas valves so the burners heat properly. Check the operation of the burner valves on the manifold and replace the manifold if gas doesn't flow properly to the burner tubes when you open the manifold's valves.
