How to reach Weber Customer Care quickly
For customers in the United States and Canada, the fastest way to reach Weber is by phone at 1-800-446-1071. This number connects you with Weber-Stephen Products LLC’s customer care team, who handle warranty claims, part orders, product registration, and troubleshooting. If you prefer online support, go to weber.com and select Support; the direct path for the U.S. is weber.com/us/en/support. From there you can live chat (when available), open a case, and find model-specific guides and schematics.
Weber’s corporate headquarters is Weber-Stephen Products LLC, 1415 S. Roselle Rd., Palatine, IL 60067, USA. Do not ship returns or warranty parts to this address unless a Weber agent specifically instructs you to do so with an RMA number. For most issues, the process starts online or by phone; many cases are resolved by shipping replacement parts directly to you.

What to have ready before you contact Weber
Have your grill’s serial number, model name, and purchase date ready. The serial number speeds everything up: on most gas grills it’s on a sticker under the right-hand side table or inside the cabinet (on the left or right panel); on charcoal kettles it’s stamped on the top vent/damper or printed on a sticker on the leg frame; on Smokey Mountain Cookers it’s on the back of the center section; on Q portable gas grills it’s on the rear or bottom frame near the regulator. If the sticker is worn, a clear photo of the entire grill and control panel can help Weber identify it.
Keep your proof of purchase (PDF receipt or photo) and clear photos or a brief video of the issue (e.g., an igniter not sparking, a burner not lighting, a cracked lid thermometer). When you open a case through weber.com, you can usually attach files up to several MB. Typical cases receive an initial response within 1–2 business days; shipping of approved warranty parts within the U.S. commonly takes 3–5 business days. Timelines vary in peak season (April–July).
Warranties: what they cover and the fine print
Weber offers multi‑year, model-specific warranties that often run up to 10–12 years on major components. For many current gas series (e.g., certain Genesis and Spirit II models), burners and cookboxes carry up to 10 years of coverage, while electronic components and ignition systems may have shorter terms (often 2–5 years). Charcoal kettle bowls and lids frequently carry long-term coverage (commonly up to 10 years against rust-through and burn-through), with other parts covered for fewer years. Exact terms depend on the model and year; always verify at weber.com/us/en/support/warranty with your serial number.
Warranty coverage generally applies to defects in materials and workmanship, not normal wear (e.g., cosmetic discoloration, surface rust not leading to perforation, or grease buildup). Consumables like batteries, flavorizer bars in certain materials, and grill brushes are typically excluded. When a claim is approved, Weber usually ships the replacement part directly to you at no charge within the warranty period; labor is not typically included. If your grill is outside warranty, they can still supply genuine parts at standard prices via weber.com/us/en/parts or through authorized dealers.
Ordering parts and accessories efficiently
To avoid returns and ensure a perfect fit, start with your grill’s serial number and use Weber’s Parts page (weber.com/us/en/parts) to pull up the exact schematic and bill of materials. Each component has a specific part number; ordering by part number significantly reduces errors. If you do not see your part, contact support with a photo; some legacy parts are still available even if they are not listed online.
Prices vary by model and material. As a general orientation, common replacement igniter kits often run in the $15–$40 range, burner tubes in roughly $20–$70 each (or $40–$120 for sets), cooking grates from about $40–$200 depending on size and material (porcelain-enameled steel vs. stainless vs. cast iron), and regulator/hoses around $20–$50. Shipping fees depend on order size and location; promotions and free shipping thresholds change seasonally. Using genuine Weber parts preserves fit, performance, and warranty eligibility.
Common issues Customer Care can solve without a service visit
Many concerns are solved with a quick call or case submission—often with nothing more than a reset or a replacement wear part. Below are checks Weber support commonly recommends before replacing major components. Performing these steps and documenting results (photos/video) speeds claims approval and helps avoid repeat contacts.
- Ignition failure: Confirm battery orientation or charge (if battery-powered igniter), check electrode gap (typically about the thickness of a credit card), and clean corrosion. Verify a firm click and spark in a low-light test. If no spark, the igniter kit may need replacement.
- Low or uneven heat: Perform a regulator reset on LP models (turn all knobs off, disconnect LP, wait 60 seconds, reconnect, open tank valve slowly, then relight). Clean burners and check for spider webs or debris in venturi tubes. Verify at least 50% of ports show strong blue flame.
- Flare-ups/grease fires: Empty and clean the grease tray and liner, scrape flavorizer bars, and preheat 10–15 minutes with the lid closed. Use a grill-safe degreaser on cool surfaces. Replace disposable drip pans once 3/4 full.
- Thermometer off by 25–50°F: Calibrate with a boiling-water or ice-bath test; if the probe fails, Weber can replace the lid thermometer under applicable warranty.
- Regulator “freeze” or poor flame in cold weather: Warm the LP tank gently by moving it out of wind (never apply direct heat), ensure the tank is at least 25% full, and open the valve slowly to avoid tripping excess-flow.
International support and regional differences
Weber operates region-specific support teams. Start at weber.com and use the country selector in the footer to reach your local site (for example, weber.com/GB/en for the United Kingdom or weber.com/DE/de for Germany). Phone numbers, service center locations, and warranty terms can vary by country due to local regulations and product lines. Some regions also offer authorized service partners for in-person diagnostics.
If you purchased in one country and now reside in another, contact the support team for your current country; they can advise whether parts are compatible with your model and what documentation is needed. In the EU/EEA, statutory consumer rights apply alongside Weber’s commercial warranty; keep your receipt and document any defect promptly to ensure timely resolution.
Privacy, documentation, and safe communication
When you submit a case, Weber typically requests your name, contact details, serial number, purchase proof, and photos or short videos. Provide only the information needed for the claim. Do not send full credit card numbers, personal ID numbers, or other sensitive data via email or chat. If a payment is required (for out-of-warranty parts), Weber will direct you to a secure payment page or take payment through approved channels.
Keep your case number, shipment tracking, and any RMA details until your issue is fully resolved. If you ship any product or part back to Weber, use the label they provide, photograph the contents, and retain the drop-off receipt. This documentation makes follow-ups faster and protects you if a package is delayed or damaged in transit.
Pro tips to get the fastest resolution
Submit one well-documented case rather than multiple messages. Include the serial number, a summary of steps you’ve tried, and clear photos of the issue from multiple angles. For intermittent problems (e.g., ignition works only after cooling), note the outdoor temperature, fuel level, and any error codes from connected devices (like Weber Connect).
If you are preparing for an event, mention your deadline. While rush handling cannot be guaranteed—especially during peak grilling season—clear timelines sometimes help Weber prioritize shipping options or suggest temporary workarounds. For complex repairs, ask customer care to confirm the exact part numbers in writing before you order.
