Weber Igniter issues are typically due to wear and tear over time. When you cook food moisture increases in the cook box. This increases grease build-up around the electrodes preventing them from sparking correctly. Often the only thing that is needed is a good cleaning and a repositioning of the igniters so that they spark again.

Often times, all a Weber regulator needs is to be reset. However, there are numerous issues that can arise like leaks and/or Over Fill Prevention (OPD) Device issues, and these can cause heating issues. Over time old hoses can become brittle and leak. You can often tell if you have a leak by looking for a green build-up around the regulator.

Weber Control valves control the fuel flow to the burners. All the burners in your grill have their own control valve. Control valves, if broken, should simply be replaced not repaired. However, sometimes it’s a simple matter of cleaning the valves to reopen the orifice again. In such cases, you can save the Valve. Otherwise, be sure to simply replace it.

Connected to the control valve, Weber Venturi Tubes control the fuel to air mixture providing a strong blue flame. If there is damage to the tubes, or if they get clogged in any way there can be heating issues, uneven flame or they simply stop working. Look for your flames to be blue. If they are yellow you might have an issue with the tubes.

I have a ten year old Weber Genesis E-310 that has never been professionally cleaned. You can only imagine how much crud had developed since I use it 2-3 times a week. I called Grill Tanks Plus for a quote and found the price reasonable. The technician arrived on time and was extremely courteous. Moments later another technician arrived. They took the grill completely apart, pressure washed and cleaned all parts. Once reassembled, I had a new grill. Wow!
