Digital timer counts down too fast or too slow compared to real time.

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

Faulty timing crystal on control board, Firmware bug, Electrical interference

Safety first: Unplug the smoker before opening the control housing.

Verify with external timer: Compare the smoker's timer to a reliable kitchen timer over a 1-hour period.
Power reset: Unplug the smoker for several minutes to reset the control board and retest.
Inspect board: Look for physical damage near the timing crystal (small metal can) on the PCB.
Replace control board: If the timer remains inaccurate, replace the main control board; timer calibration is not user-adjustable.
