FlameTrak pairs each burner with a flame sensor and a safety valve. The blue light by the knob shows the state: it flashes while the igniter works and stays lit when the burner is burning. If the flame goes out, the safety valve closes the gas to that burner. Lynx grill display What to do when Blue indicator light (FlameTrak) shows on the grill ### Kind of code Ignition 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 to Grill 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 as Grill Error Code on a Pellet Controller or Digital Panel A grill error code shows as letters and numbers on a pellet grill controller, a flashing light on a digital control panel, or an alert in the maker's app paired with the grill. ### Make Lynx A Lynx grill visit opens with the lid raised and every burner lit once, so the tech sees which ports burn blue and which ones sputter. ### Source Lynx All-Trident grill with FlameTrak safety system, care and use / installation manual (Rev D) Lynx All-Trident grills with the FlameTrak safety system (LF36ATR and its F cart version), whose manual lists a 9-volt battery as backup for the ignition. The later L30ATR, L36ATR and L42ATR All-Trident guide does not describe this light. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Lynx's own guidance for Blue indicator light (FlameTrak) on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Keep the knob at LITE while the blue light flashes, and let go once it stays lit. 02 If the light keeps flashing and the burner does not light within five seconds, turn it off and wait five minutes. 03 Check the power and the 9-volt backup battery; if the light still never goes steady, book a visit to check the igniter and the flame sensor. ### Still there? It usually turns into [grill igniter repair](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/services/grill-igniter-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do A flashing blue light is part of lighting, not a warning by itself. A dark blue light on every knob means the grill has no power or its backup battery is flat. ## What you may notice with it. The grill problems Blue indicator light (FlameTrak) tends to arrive with.

Keep the knob at LITE while the blue light flashes, and let go once it stays lit. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does the blue light on my Lynx FlameTrak grill go out mid-cook? The flame sensor lost the flame, often from wind or a low tank, and the safety valve closed the gas to that burner. Turn the knob off, wait five minutes and relight. ### Does a FlameTrak grill still light in a power cut? Lynx fits a 9-volt battery as backup power for the ignition. A flat battery and no mains power leave the lights dark and the burners unlit. ### Is the FlameTrak blue light on newer Lynx All-Trident grills? The later All-Trident guide for the L30ATR to L42ATR does not describe it, so check the model on the rating plate under the drip tray before relying on the light. --- **[Read on the site: Lynx FlameTrak blue light: flashing while lighting, steady once lit](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/error-codes/lynx-flametrak-blue-indicator/)** **[Book a visit with BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/schedule/)**
