The ignitor operates likr a spark plug. When you press the button a small electric charge is passed through the attached wire to the small electrode inside the grill creating a small spark. The main reason this fails is because cooking grease covers the metal contact plate and won't allow a spark. Clean the electrode and dry completely. This should solve the problem.
