What To Do If Your Torch Isn't Working

Bernzomatic® Torch Experts, Cliff and Jenay, show you how to troubleshoot common torch issues.

If your torch isn't sparking:
1. Brush the ignition wire and burn tube wall with sandpaper to remove corrosion or debris that would prevent a spark
2. Ensure the ignition wire is 1/8" from the edge

If your torch sparks but won't light:
1. Gently clean the burn tube using a pipe cleaner or compressed air to remove debris that could inhibit air flow
