Genesis Model and Igniter Help

I'm looking for some advice here. First, I am not sure what model this is. I got it for free off marketplace like 10 years ago because they were too lazy to clean it. I took it home, cleaned it up, and it looked close to new and has worked like a beast since.

Anyway, my igniter went out the other day. It lights up fine with a lighter, but just wondering if it is relatively easy and inexpensive to replace the igniter. I'd rather fix it than have to mess with using a lighter every time. But I also don't know the model, so I'm unsure where to start looking. I should also add that I am extremely not handy, but I can do simple tasks.

Any help would be appreciated.

Weber Genesis E-330 is likely the model.

Fixing the igniter is not a big deal. You might have to replace the module, but that shouldn't cost more than about $20.

I also need to replace the ignition on an S330 that will go to a friend. In general I see that aftermarket ignition kits gets good reviews for fit but some reviews say that they don't last as long as the OEM.
Anyone has experience with an aftermarket module that can last several years?
 
One other item to check, is to make sure it has a good ground. I know, the elusive “bad ground”…. But I’ve seen in on the manual strikers. Not familiar with the electronic version on this 330, but does it have a separate ground wire?? Or is it using a chassis ground that is susceptible to corrosion??? Just throwing darts ….
