What Flashing blue bezel light
actually means.

A blue flash around a Kalamazoo knob means the knob is still pressed in but the ignition system has timed out and turned itself off. The burner did not light in that window, so the whole lighting sequence has to start over.

What to do when Flashing blue bezel light shows on the grill

Kind of codeIgnition

The grill tried to start its fire and the controller never saw it take. On a pellet grill that is usually a hot rod burned out after hundreds of cooks, or a firepot full of ash so the new pellets smother; on a gas grill with electronic ignition it is a spark module, an electrode cracked or set too far from the burner, or a battery gone flat. Emptying the ash once the grill is cold and fitting a fresh battery are fair first steps; the hot rod and the module are a visit.

Usually leads toGrill igniter repair

No spark, a weak spark or a spark in the wrong place: the grill's battery module, piezo button, electrodes, wires and hot-surface igniters tested and fixed.

Shows up asGas Grill Won't Light: Knob On, Clicking, No Flame

A gas grill won't light when the knob turns and the igniter clicks yet no flame appears, or when one burner catches and the others stay dark beside it.

What not to do

Questions
about Flashing blue bezel light.

Can I clear Flashing blue bezel light myself?
Release the knob and turn it back to OFF. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why is my Kalamazoo grill knob light flashing blue?
The ignition timed out while you were still holding the knob in. Turn it to OFF, wait five minutes and start the lighting steps again.
Should I keep holding a Kalamazoo knob after it starts flashing blue?
No. Once it flashes blue the ignition has shut off, so holding longer will not light the burner. Turn the knob off and wait before the next try.
Why does my Kalamazoo grill flash blue every time I try to light it?
Repeated timeouts mean the burner is not catching: an igniter that no longer glows red, a gas supply that is off or low, or a blocked orifice. Check the plug and the supply valve, then book a visit.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Flashing blue bezel light?

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied exactly, the model and serial from the rating label, and a word on whether the grill still lights, heats or feeds pellets. With those three the office can match the likely part to your grill the same day.
