The igniter on my E330 SE has been very finicky lately. I’ve burnished the igniter battery contacts a couple of times which temporarily revived it but it hasn’t worked now for about 2 weeks. I had to manually light the burners for my last 2 cooks using the gasser.
I ordered a new igniter kit last week and it arrived 2 days ago. It installed easily enough and reminded me again how well built the Webers are of this generation (2015).
Since I had to remove the grates and flavorizer bars, I went ahead and did some pretty serious fall cleaning underneath. I had begun to notice some hot and cold spots when cooking. I scraped all the crud I could from the sides and bottom of the firebox then scrubbed the burner tubes. Wow, blue flames again!
Since the knobs hard to be pulled, I also scrubbed the SS faceplate to the point of removing any remaining lettering and pointer marks for the knobs. I had a brain fart and used my label maker to make new knob pointer marks and a sear station indicator.
This little refurbishment took about 2.5 hours and a considerable amount of elbow grease. It’s about the 3rd deep cleaning since I got it 7 years ago. I’m looking forward to many more years of cooking on it.
