How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the smoker.
Steps:
- Power reset: Leave the smoker unplugged for at least 5 minutes to fully discharge the control board, then plug back in and attempt to set the timer.
- Stable power: Ensure the smoker is connected directly to a stable outlet, not a long extension cord that may cause voltage drops.
- Firmware / board replacement: If F3 persists, the internal memory on the control board is likely faulty. Replace the main control board with the correct Klarstein part.
