BGA131-BI
DCS BGA131-BI Side Burner Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner not lighting after rain
- Flame ring uneven
- Burner cap corroded or missing
- Lid bent or not closing
The BGA131-BI is a single built-in side burner, 15 inches wide, from the DCS Series 5 and BGA line, sold around 2005 to 2012. It sits beside a grill in an outdoor kitchen, which means it spends its life exposed to weather, and owners usually call when it will not light after rain.
A side burner is a small system with a few places for trouble. Water in the burner well is the first thing we check after wet weather; then the cap and ports for rust or clogging, and the ignitor. If the lid has bent, it can also leave the burner exposed to rain, so we look at how it closes.
Since this is an older unit, we look into parts first and speak up when the repair is not worth the money. A price in writing comes before the work. Gas piping to the burner is the licensed plumber’s territory, and the label’s number is what we order against.

Why does my side burner not light after rain?
Water in the burner well or on the ignitor is the usual cause. We dry and clean it, check the ports, and test the ignitor before replacing anything.
Can a corroded burner cap be replaced?
Yes, as long as the part can be found for this older model. We confirm that before the repair and show you a written price, so you can decide with the facts in hand.
Should the lid stay closed when I am not cooking?
Yes. A closed lid keeps rain and debris out of the burner. If the lid is bent or will not close, we look at replacing the lid or its hinge.
