How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening any panels.

  • Soft reset: Turn the smoker off, unplug it for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in and power on.
  • Check for stuck buttons: Press each button several times to ensure none are stuck or jammed. Clean the control surface with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  • Inspect internal wiring: Remove the control panel and verify that all harnesses are firmly connected to the control board and keypad.
  • Factory reset: If your Cuisinart model supports it, perform a factory reset according to the user manual.
  • Replace control assembly: If the error persists, replace the complete control panel or main control board as specified for your model.
