How to fix Char-Broil Front Avenue burner that won't light with ignitor?

If your Char-Broil grill burner won't light using the ignitor, several factors could be at play. Start by cleaning the wires and electrode with rubbing alcohol. Check for cracks or breaks in the electrode; replace it if necessary. Ensure the electrode tip is correctly positioned (1/8" to 1/4" from the collector box tip for main burners, or 1/8" to 3/16" from the gas port for the sideburner). Also, check the wires. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the electrode/wire assembly if needed. If the wire is shorting, replace the ignitor wire/electrode assembly. Finally, replace the battery with a new AA battery.
