Thank you for your feedback regarding your Genesis E-435. We are so sorry to learn of your frustration with your grill's igniter not working. We expect the ignition system to provide consistent results!
It is possible that the igniter electrodes that light your burners shifted during shipping or assembly. We recommend checking the end of the burners to confirm each electrode is parallel to the top of the burner.
We also recommend checking the wire connections at your igniter module under the grill.
Please look for an email outreach from our Support team soon. We look forward to helping you get this solved. Thank you!
We absolutely love our Weber. Cook on it nearly every night. No end to its features and possibilities. Thank you, Weber, for a really quality product. And thank you, Emily, for being a great asset to Weber!!!
I like the grill but I have to light it manually as the igniter doesn't work. I have contacted Angel in customer service but he seems to think I should repair it myself. I am old and have knee and back problems and can't crawl around under the grill to diagnose and repair it and I don't think I should be expected to. Please let me know your thoughts on the issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you are not hearing a clicking noise when you press the igniter button, it is possible that the igniter electrodes that light your burners shifted during shipping or assembly. We recommend checking the end of the burners to confirm each electrode is parallel to the top of the burner.
We also recommend checking the wire connections at your igniter module under the grill.

The assembly process is very difficult because the instructions on paper don't match the instructions on line, and neither those two match the packaging the grill came with. Boxes labeled with sharpies, content misplaced and content mixed in different boxes was a nightmare. Add to threefold that the grill in the paper instructions and the grill in the on line instructions were different to the grill i got (same model number, but seemed to be different model year) For example, the grill on line had a long rear axle and 2 big round wheels, the paper instructions had 2 locking casters but in reality i got regular faster of different size

Thank you for your feedback regarding your Genesis E-435 gas grill. We are very sorry to hear about your experience with the instruction not matching and the content in the boxes being mixed up. This is very unusual. Our apologies for any frustration this caused you. Our Care team will be reaching out to assist you further. Please look for our outreach soon. Thank you!
Husband put it together, husband is good at that stuff. We started the grill to be sure it worked. Went back to start it the next day and the ignitor switch was broken. After ONE DAY. Yes the wires have been checked, yes we went through troubleshooting. But for this cost I expect it to work longer than ONE DAY.

I purchased a floor model. Installation, warranty booklets and all other papers were not with it. Called Weber to get copies. Was told to download. I dont want papers off my printer. I would like the booklets.
Your dials are upset down this is concerning due to the fact that im 63 years old and everything is upset down. I gave away my 3 burner genius with the dials correct and hate myself for getting ride of it.

I am unable to get enough heat to sear meat, even in the "sear zone." I am very unhappy with this and hope there is a fix.

Thank you for your feedback. We expect our grills to provide steady, even heat. It sounds like your grill might be in "bypass mode," causing the low temperature you are experiencing. What’s happening is that the regulator thinks there’s a gas leak, so it reduces the pressure.
First, rule out a gas leak by performing a soapy-water leak test per the instructions in you grill owner's guide. You can also click the link below for help: https://consumer-care.weber.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023849891-How-do-I-perform-a-gas-leak-test-on-my-grill-
Your grill should easily reach 500F, which is hot enough to cook and sear. If there is no leak, then it's possible your grill is in a safety mode called "bypass." Follow these instructions to reset the bypass safety mode. This is not only the reset, but how you want to light your grill each and every time.
Open the lid Make sure all knobs are in the off position (including side burner if applicable) Turn your LP tank on all the way Wait 60 seconds Turn the first burner to start/high Hit your igniter Turn on all remaining main burners, one by one Close the lid Let your grill preheat to 500-550°F
Your experience is very important to us. Please look for an email follow-up from our Support team. Thank you!
