Hi F&D folks. Hope this is the right board to post this on. If not, feel free to request to move it.

Went to fire up the grill yesterday and the electric starter was dead, no clicking, no nothing.

I am hoping it is just in need of a battery change (grill is 6 or 7 years old now). It is a Charbroil Classic, model 463211512.

To change the battery, do I just remove the rubber cover off the push button and unscrew it? Can I do this with the unit still in the grill, or do I have to remove it?

Thanks in advance for advice/tips.

Usually the button you press for the starter just unscrews and it is just a cap. Should be able to take out the battery and replace after that no problem.

That's what I have seen online and it makes sense. My ignition button seems to have a rubber shroud over it, and I wasn't sure if it comes off when you unscrew the button or of it has to be removed first.

Try putting your brand and model into the Google machine. You can usually find the manual pretty easily

I have, and not much help. I actually have the user manual that came with the grill, and in the troubleshooting section it says if the starter doesn't work, change the battery, but I have yet to see where it says how.

I would think the rubber shroud is either part of the cap that you unscrew or it is separate but would probably help you to grip the cap to unscrew. Either way just go out there and try to unscrew it. You won't mess anything up.

Just switch to matches. Way more fun when you let the gas build up for about twenty seconds
