It won't fire up. Why not? what are some troubleshoots?

The igniters just didn't work from the start. So, I went back to using an old fashioned extended lighter and it works fine.

I've had no problems at all with mine. Here are a few suggestions: (1) Does gas flow and just not ignite by pushing the igniter? If so, you can use a match or lighter to get it going. (2) Do you smell gas under the unit, but not in the fire box? Check to see that the nozzles are inserted into the venturi ports--also, make sure they are JUST inserted--air has to mix in where the side openings are. (3) Do you not smell any gas? Make use that the tank is full and that the screw in is all the way in and then that the gas valve is fully open. Those are the only things that come to mind.

First of all; make sure you have a full tank...Next make sure all ports are open....You can also light the grill with a lighter or match. I have had no problems with mine.

not sure why your unit doesn't fire...have you checked the igniter? Mine only refused fire once because I wasn't releasing the igniter correctly...I used a long nosed gas grill lighter that day...then I figured out to push and release the igniter correctly and have not had any problems since Really do like this gas grill!!

Sounds to me like you may have a faulty one. Mine charged up just fine, and I am still doing well with it. I would contact the company. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Nope... You're not missing anything. It should heat up, and do so quickly. I suspect that your ceramic heating element has broken. I'd either swap it out with the spare, or contact the manufacturer. Good luck.

Did you turn it up on high? Mine had to be run on high for a few minutes and then could turn it down. I never really liked how it worked but waited too long to decide to return it and didn't. Hope you have better luck!

Sorry, still in the box waiting for an emergency. However, I did crank it up and it worked well. Good luck on your search.

With many of the attachments, the gas flow has to be very low for ignition. Try turning the adjustment down before igniting, then turn up as needed.

There should be a little red light that turns on and it flashes until it goes solid that means its ready. If the light doesn't turn on and it doesn't get hot then it doesn't work. I would send it back for a new one. There should be a warrenty.

I did and it stays on and no fire so far. You maybe can check with manufacture.

No problem lighting heater. Hold button down for about 10 seconds, release and depress button again. Residual gas from first press should help firing it right up.

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

I've got the same problem. It gets as far as flashing lb/kg and that's it. Nothing responds after that and I don't get any numbers to move up or down with. The printed directions are not helpful at all because it doesn't respond after the flashing lb/kg. Am probably going to ship it back. Has anyone had one arrive with an almost dead battery? Maybe that's the issue.

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

I would make sure the bulb is connected. Otherwise, it should just turn on. If not, I would send it back. :)

I don't know, why doesn't it fire? Did you insert the ignitor and plug into the engine? Did you then attach the two cables for the firing remote, insert the plug in the remote....hold down the plug for the light to come on and press the fire button?

Maybe your batteries are dead. Change them. Then, if it doesn't work you can always send it back.

mine works just fine, it is probably defective. I would try to exchange it for another.

Try to return it. Don't keep it or try to use it. if it is defective, it could be fire hazard.
