Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Verify the smoker is unplugged before opening any panels. Do not bypass safety fuses.
External checks:
- Confirm the outlet has power by testing with another appliance.
- Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
- Inspect the power cord for cuts, burns, or loose plug blades.
Internal checks:
- Remove the rear or bottom panel to access the terminal block and main control board.
- Verify that the power cord wires are securely attached to the terminal block.
- Locate the internal fuse on the main control board (often a glass or ceramic fuse). Remove and test it with a multimeter for continuity. Replace only with the same type and rating.
If still dead: If the fuse is good and power is present at the board input but the display remains blank, the main control board is likely failed and should be replaced.
