Possible Causes
Corrupted control board firmware, Faulty timer IC on PCB, Power surge damage to control electronics
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the smoker before working on the control system.
- Power reset: Unplug the smoker for at least 5 minutes to allow the control board to fully discharge. Plug back in and test the timer function.
- Check for stuck buttons: Inspect the control panel for any buttons that feel stuck or do not click properly, which can confuse the timer logic.
- Inspect board for surge damage: Remove the control panel and visually inspect the PCB for burnt components or bulging capacitors.
- Use surge protection: If the smoker is connected directly to an outlet prone to surges, consider using a quality surge protector after repair.
- Replace control board: If E7 persists and the timer will not function, replace the main control board with the correct Smokehouse part.
