Yesterday I am doing a yearly maintenance check on my 10 year old Genesis grill. And yes I didn’t realize my ignitor works on a A size battery. It still had the OG battery that came with the grill. I was having some ignitor issues the last couple times I used it. I have 2 questions.
While looking up parts on Grillparts dot com I see there is a Burner control valve and a Sear control valve. How do I know which valve is which? I have 3 upfront control valve. I assume the first one on the left side is a burner valve. The middle and right are burner or sear? I want to make sure I’m ordering the right part (control valve). Which brings me to my next question. While cleaning/lubricanting the control valve I noticed the 3rd (right side) valve had a small spring inside when I removed the 2 small screws. But I didn’t notice any springs inside the left & middle valve when I opened them up. So I cleaned and threw some lube inside and put back together. When I sprayed soap/water on the valve to check for leaks my middle valve showed bubbles (leak). I took it apart several times to check to see if it’s right. I’m still having the propane leak. So I was thinking maybe there is suppose to be a spring inside? But the left valve doesn’t have a spring and it’s not leaking. Only the middle valve. So the reasoning I’m looking to buy a replacement.
