How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool the smoker.
Steps:
- Access fan: Remove the interior rear panel to expose the fan.
- Check for blockage: Remove any foil, food, or debris from the fan blades.
- Spin test: Turn the fan by hand. If stiff or seized, replace the fan motor assembly.
- Electrical test: Verify voltage at the fan motor terminals when the smoker is running (only if you are trained to work with live circuits). If voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the motor.
