Rear rotisserie burner will not stay lit, what should I do?

First, check to see if the rear electrode prongs are sparking?  If not, align prongs to 1/8" gap between prongs and between burner tile and prongs.  Also, replace the battery for the ignition system. 

Next be sure to push and hold the knob down to allow gas flow.  Then, push igniter button to ignite the burner.  Once it is lit, continue to hold the knob down for approx. 20-40 seconds and release.  If the burner does not remain lit allow gas to dissipate (Approx. 3 minutes), then repeat.

If the burner does not light or does not remain lit once the knob is released, then allow gas to dissipate (Approx. 3 minutes), turn knob into on/high position, remove the knob, depress the valve stem with your finger and push the igniter button.  Once lit, allow approx. 20-40 seconds and release the valve stem.  If the burner remains lit then you will need a D Ring spacer so the knob will not bottom out on the front control panel.  Please request a D Ring spacer via email to:  info@rasmussen.biz

NOTE:  If the grill has been converted from propane gas to natural gas, has the rear burner orifice been changed?  If not, it will not allow enough gas flow to light off the rear burner.
