How We Repair Your Imperial Charbroiler
Cooktops, griddles and charbroilers use gas burners, radiant or coil elements, or induction coils, each with its own controls and safety devices.
Imperial Charbroiler models often use model-specific control boards, sensors and diagnostic modes. We look up your exact model number so the right part goes in the first time.
Safety first: If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility from outside.
Common Charbroiler Problems We Fix
Induction pan not detected
The cookware is not magnetic, or a sensor or power board has failed.
Cracked glass top
The glass panel needs replacing; using a cracked top is a safety risk.
Uneven heat on a griddle
A failed element, thermostat or a burner that is partly blocked.
A burner or element will not heat
A failed element, a bad infinite switch, a loose connection or, on induction models, a fault in the power board or coil.
Gas burner clicks but will not light
Food or moisture on the igniter, a misaligned burner cap or a failing spark module.
Burner stays on high
A failed infinite switch or relay on the control board.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Check that the circuit breaker is on and the cooktop is not in lock mode.
- Dry and reseat burner caps after cleaning.
- For induction, test with a pan that a magnet sticks to.
- Write down any error code shown.

Do you work on all Imperial models?
We repair current and older Imperial models. Some discontinued parts can be hard to find; if that is the case for your model, we tell you before you pay for a repair.
Should I repair or replace my charbroiler?
A charbroiler typically lasts about 13 to 18 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
