How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure your hands are dry when working with plugs and outlets.

  • Verify power: Check that the outlet has power by plugging in another appliance. Reset the household breaker or GFCI if tripped.
  • Secure the plug: Make sure the smoker's plug is fully inserted into the outlet and not loose.
  • Clear the code: Press the Power button to turn the smoker off, then back on. Re‑enter your time and temperature settings.
  • Avoid shared circuits: If PF occurs frequently, move the smoker to a dedicated circuit to prevent nuisance interruptions.
