Q:does this work or Weber Silver 8127 ?
by|Aug 21, 2018
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Hello RG, we're sorry, but 8127 isn't a valid Weber Genesis Silver model number. 8127 is the part number for a control panel used on a wide range of models made from 2000 until 2005. Please reach out to us at reviews@weberstephen.com and we can ID your specific Genesis Silver model and determine which igniter kit is appropriate. Thanks.

      Q:HOW ABOUT A REPLACEMENT IGNITER KIT FOR A 2017 SPIRIT E330?
      by|May 29, 2018
      5 Answers
      Answer This Question

      A:  I purchased the igniter kit for a Weber Series A so don't know if it works for the model e-330.

      by|May 31, 2018

        A:  We bought the kit but could not get the on button up through the metal plate on the side. It is just dangling, but we can push the button and it ignites.

        by|May 31, 2018

          A:  Not sure what the question is.... The igniter I bought works fine. Simple installation. Model 7509 fits many Weber grills.

                Q:I replaced the igniter but it clicks but doesn't ignite the propane

                Answer This Question

                A:  I did buy one of these kits and installed it in a very old Weber grill. It seems to work fine and does light the propane. I would first make sure the gas is turned on and the knobs on your pit are turned on. Can test this by trying to light the burner manually with long stem lighter. If the manual lighter will not work, and you are sure everything is on, you could have blockage in the line somewhere. Insects or spiders will make home in there sometimes. Use thin wire ( or air compressor) to make sure line is open . If you do get the manual lighter to work, then recheck your installation referring to instructions to make sure kit installed ok and all connections made and kit components in correct position. Good luck with your trouble shooting.

                  A:  You have air trapped in your lines what you need to do is 1. shut off your gas on the propane tank close it. 2. open up your burner valves on the grill let it sit for 10 seconds bleeding out the trapped air. 3. Shut off your burner valves. 4. then open the gas on your propane tank. 5. Open the first burner from the closest point to the propane tank and each valve after to the last point you can then ignite your tank

                    A:  sounds like a defective unit. check to see if its making a spark.if so, contacts not close enough to propane

                    by|Apr 22, 2018

                      A:  Make certain that the igniter is centered in the hole in the unit, and that it produces a spark. Check that all plug in connections on the igniter are connected properly. Make certain that propane is turned on, and is reaching the grill.

                      by|Apr 18, 2018

                        A:  Hello Jim, We're sorry to hear about the trouble with your grill! Please reach out to us at support@weberstephen.com or 1-800-446-1071 and we'll be happy to help! Thanks!

                        by|Apr 17, 2018

                          A:  If you have it out and have the wires connected, you should be able to see if it sparks when you click it. If you see the spark then you may have a blocked hole on the burner and it is not allowing the gas to come out. Try using a wire brush and carefully clean the burner.

                            A:  Just go to the Weber website. By answering a few basic questions (they have pictures) you can easily nail down your model and see the parts and part numbers that will work with your grill. Mine was rather old but I had no trouble finding the right part. Hope this helps.

                                A:  if its a weber GENESIS 1000 or 2000, yes, the 7509 ig. switch will fit your grill. you'll find the serial # to confirm exact model located on the inside rt. top table tray. you must take off the knob tray/cover to see it.

                                    A:  Sounds like you need igniter kit 7509 which has a locking nut. There is a YouTube video that shows you how to install the igniter.

                                    Can't believe how the Igniter Kit was the exact fit for my grill. I bought my Platinum 1200 grill in 1999. This grill is 23 years old and still has the same burner assembly. This is the second part I ever replaced. The first was the hose from the propane tank to the burner manifold.

                                    I used this to replace my rusted out ignitor on my original Weber Genesis Silver (Type A) grill. The original worked for over 10 years before it started to fail. Replacement was as simple as removing a few screws for the face plate, removing the knobs, pulling out the old unit, then putting everything back in. This does not use batteries and there is no other maintenance other than making sure the box is not covered in grease, ash or soot so the spark can arc properly. I replaced this at the same time as putting in new burner tubes, and my grill is like new again!

                                    Easy install - should last 10 years.
                                    Super easy to install and they last about ten years. My Weber Silver turned 22 this year. This is the second time I've replaced the lighter. The old one would have kept going but it was fairly rusted out. I was replacing the burners so it was an ideal time to do the lighter. As I said the old one still throws a spark.
