One or more STAR burner igniters spark intermittently — the igniter fires sporadically rather than producing a steady clicking pattern when the burner knob is turned on. This is typically caused by moisture or debris on the ceramic igniter, or clogged burner ports.
| Possible Cause | How to Fix |
|---|---|
| Ceramic igniter is wet or dirty | Carefully dry or clean the ceramic igniter with a soft cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before use. |
| Burner ports are clogged | Clean ports on the STAR burner cap with a thin wire, needle, or straightened paper clip. |
