Weak flame, no spark and low heat on Elmhurst grills
Weak flame on one side and a scorching burner on the other is the classic Elmhurst grill complaint, and the fix is usually clearing grease from the burner ports and testing the regulator. A grill that will not light at all comes down to the spark generator battery, a cracked electrode or a failed ignition module. A grill that lights but stalls below searing heat has often tripped the regulator's safety bypass. Elmhurst's biggest growth ran from 1960 to 1970, so many of its patios belong to homes of that era, a short drive from our Glendale Heights shop.

Gas grills left out through an Elmhurst winter
An Elmhurst patio grill spends the winter under snow. Cold stiffens the gas hose and can crack the fittings. Wet burner tubes rust from the inside, and spiders move in when spring warms up. Then the flame lifts off the burner, or one side stays cold. A grill with no spark at all often has a dead battery in the igniter. We start by cleaning the burners and the tubes. Then we test the hose and the regulator, the valve that sets gas pressure. Any burner that has rusted through gets replaced. Your Elmhurst grill is ready before the first cookout.

Grill problems usually start at ignition: a click with no flame from a dead spark battery, a corroded igniter or a blocked gas line. Low or uneven flames and a grill that never reaches searing heat come from clogged burners, a failing regulator or a partly closed valve. If you smell gas near the grill, do not light it, shut off the supply and call us. We repair built-in outdoor kitchen grills, freestanding and cart grills, luxury brands such as Viking and Lynx, and commercial grills for restaurants and hotels. Repairs start from $349, and the $79 diagnostic is waived when we do the repair.
