How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Before opening the smoker, verify the outlet is not live with a tester and turn off the breaker if working on wiring.
Basic checks:
- Confirm the outlet has power by plugging in another appliance.
- Check the home's breaker panel for a tripped breaker or GFCI and reset if necessary.
- Inspect the smoker's power cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
Internal checks:
- Remove the rear or bottom access panel to locate the power cord terminal block.
- Verify all screws are tight and wires are secure with no signs of overheating.
- If equipped, check any internal line fuse on the control board for continuity and replace with the same rating if blown.
- If power is present at the terminal block but the control board remains dead, the board is likely failed and should be replaced.
