Why isn't my Char-Broil Grill igniting, and there's no sound from the spark module?
- J
  John BruceAug 15, 2025
  If no sparks appear at any electrodes when the Electronic Ignition Button is pressed and no noise can be heard from the spark module on your Char-Broil Grill, there are several potential causes. First, check the battery orientation. If the battery is dead, replace it with a new alkaline battery. Also, ensure the button assembly is installed properly by unscrewing the button cap assembly and reinstalling it, making sure the threads are aligned and engaged fully. Finally, a faulty spark module could be the issue, in which case you should replace the spark module assembly.

How do I fix a Char-Broil PERFORMANCE 463280019 Grill burner that won't light from the others?

  Logan WilsonAug 18, 2025
  If one burner on your Char-Broil Grill does not light from the other burners, it is likely due to grease buildup or food particles in the end(s) of the carryover tube(s). Clean the carry-over tube(s) with a wire brush to resolve this.

  If no sparks appear at any electrodes when the Electronic Ignition Button is pressed, but noise can be heard from the spark module on your Char-Broil Grill, the output lead connections may not be connected. Remove and reconnect all output connections at the module and electrodes.

How to stop flare-ups on my Char-Broil Grill?
- M
  Martha McdonaldAug 25, 2025
  Flare-ups on your Char-Broil Grill can occur due to several reasons. One common cause is grease buildup, so cleaning the burners and the inside of the grill/firebox is recommended. Another cause can be excessive fat in the meat, so trim the fat from the meat before grilling. Lastly, excessive cooking temperature can also cause flare-ups, so adjust (lower) the temperature accordingly.

Why is the flame so low on my Char-Broil PERFORMANCE 463280019?

  A sudden drop in gas flow or low flame on your Char-Broil Grill can be due to several reasons. First, check if your LP cylinder is out of gas. Another potential cause is a tripped excess flow valve; to resolve this, turn off the knobs, wait 30 seconds, and light the grill. If the flames are still low, turn off the knobs and the LP cylinder valve, disconnect the regulator, reconnect it, perform a leak test, turn on the LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds, and then light the grill. Lastly, a vapor lock at the coupling nut/LP cylinder connection could be the issue. To fix this, turn off the knobs and LP cylinder valve, disconnect the coupling nut from the cylinder, reconnect it, and try again.

What to do if the flames keep blowing out on my Char-Broil PERFORMANCE 463280019?
- C
  chasejordanSep 1, 2025
  If the flames on your Char-Broil Grill keep blowing out, several factors could be responsible. High or gusting winds may be the cause; try turning the front of the grill to face the wind or increase the flame height by turning the gas valve to a higher position. Also, check if you are low on LP gas and refill the LP cylinder if needed. Finally, an excess flow valve tripped can also cause this issue; refer to the 'Sudden drop in gas flow' section for instructions.

How do I handle a persistent grease fire in my Char-Broil Grill?
- L
  Laura MedinaSep 3, 2025
  If you have a persistent grease fire in your Char-Broil Grill, turn the knobs to OFF and turn the gas off at the LP cylinder. Leave the lid in position and let the fire burn out. After the grill cools, remove and clean all parts. This is often due to grease trapped by food buildup around the burner system.

- J
  Joshua JohnsonSep 7, 2025
  A flashback (fire in burner tubes) in your Char-Broil Grill usually means the burner and/or burner tubes are blocked. To resolve this, turn the knobs to OFF and clean the burner and/or burner tubes. Refer to the burner cleaning section of the Use and Care guide for detailed instructions.

Why are the sparks weak on my Char-Broil PERFORMANCE 463280019 Grill?
- J
  Julia HowardSep 12, 2025
  If sparks are present but not at all electrodes or not at full strength on your Char-Broil Grill, several issues could be the cause. Check that all output lead connections are properly connected at the module and electrodes. If possible, observe the grill in a dark location to look for arcing between output wires and the grill frame. A weak battery can also cause this, so replace it with a new alkaline battery. Ensure the electrodes are dry by using a paper towel to remove any moisture. Finally, check for cracked or broken electrodes, which may cause sparks at the crack, and replace them if necessary.
