Solenoid Valve (Simmer Control)
On XLO models, gas flow is controlled by an electromagnetic solenoid. If the spark is present but no gas flows, the internal plunger of the solenoid has likely seized or the coil has failed, preventing gas from reaching the burner head despite the electronic ignition sequence beginning.

Burner Potentiometer
The potentiometer is the variable switch behind the control knob that signals both the spark module and the gas solenoid. If the internal contacts for the gas valve circuit are corroded or worn, the switch may successfully trigger the spark module while failing to send the necessary voltage to open the gas solenoid.

Star Burner Head
The Star Burner design relies on precise gas porting. Heavy carbon buildup or liquid ingress (from cleaning or boil-overs) can clog the internal orifice or the gas distribution channels within the burner head, preventing gas from reaching the spark electrode even if the valve is open.
