How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Verify the smoker is unplugged before opening any panels.
- Check outlet: Plug a lamp or other small appliance into the same outlet to confirm power. Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
- Inspect power cord: Examine the cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace the cord set if damaged.
- Check internal fuse: Remove the control housing and locate the inline or board‑mounted fuse. Test it with a multimeter; replace with the same rating if blown.
- Inspect control board: Look for obvious burn damage. If the fuse blows again immediately or the board is visibly damaged, replace the main control board.
