Klarstein No Heat with Power Present

Smoker powers on but will not heat; fan may run and timer counts down.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Open heating element, Tripped high‑limit thermostat, Loose element wiring, Failed heating relay on control board

Safety first: Unplug and cool the smoker.

Steps:

Check temperature setting: Ensure a temperature above ambient is selected and that the mode is correct.
Inspect heating element: Look for visible breaks or heavy scaling. Test resistance; replace if open.
High‑limit thermostat: Locate and test for continuity. Reset or replace if open.
Wiring and board: Confirm tight connections at the element and board. If all components test good, the heating relay on the control board may be defective and the board must be replaced.
