Display shows "PF" and the smoker stops heating after a brief power interruption.

Safety first: Turn off the smoker and unplug it before inspecting the power cord.

• Check the outlet and breaker: Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker. Test the outlet with another appliance to confirm stable power.
• Inspect the power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks along the cord. Replace the cord if any damage is found.
• Secure the plug: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. Avoid using loose or worn outlets that can cause intermittent power loss.
• Restart the cook cycle: After power is stable, turn the smoker back on, re‑enter the desired temperature and time, and resume cooking. Some models require manual restart after PF.
