Smokin Tex digital smoker overshoots set temperature or shuts down with E2 error on display.

Safety: Unplug the smoker and let it cool fully before inspection.

Inspection steps:

• Open the smoker door and locate the internal temperature probe. Check for heavy grease buildup or moisture pooling around the probe. Clean gently with a non‑abrasive pad and degreaser, then dry thoroughly.
• Remove the rear or bottom access panel to expose the sensor wiring. Look for melted insulation where the wire passes near the heating element or metal edges.
• If insulation is damaged and conductors are touching the cabinet or each other, replace the sensor harness. Do not tape over high‑heat damage; use proper high‑temperature wiring.
• Disconnect the sensor from the control board and check resistance with a multimeter. A near‑zero reading (short) or wildly fluctuating reading indicates a bad sensor.
• Replace the temperature sensor probe if readings are abnormal. If a new sensor does not clear E2, the electronic control board may be defective and should be replaced.

Note: Avoid spraying water directly into the cabinet probe area when cleaning; excess moisture can damage the sensor.
