Possible Causes

Clogged smoke generator, Wet or oversized wood chips, Failed smoke generator heating element, Incorrect chip tray placement

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the smoker before handling the smoke generator.

Steps:

  • Remove the wood chip tray and clean out ash and debris. Ensure air holes are not blocked.
  • Use dry, properly sized wood chips recommended by GE; avoid soaked chips or large chunks that can smother the element.
  • Verify the chip tray is fully seated in the smoke generator housing as per the manual.
  • Access the smoke generator heating element (if separate from main element) and inspect for damage or heavy scale. Test for continuity and replace if open.
