Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on control board, Damaged power cord, Faulty power switch, Failed main control board power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the smoker before opening any panels. Do not bypass fuses with foil or wire.

  • Verify outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance to confirm it has power.
  • Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, crushed sections, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check power switch: If your model has a physical power switch, ensure it clicks firmly and is not loose. Test continuity across the switch terminals when turned on.
  • Inspect internal fuse: Open the control housing and locate the small fuse on the control board (if equipped). Remove and test with a multimeter. Replace only with the same type and rating if blown.
  • Replace control board: If the fuse and switch are good but there is still no power, the control board’s power supply is likely failed and the board must be replaced.
