Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation around Grizzl‑E enclosure, High ambient temperature exceeding rating, Loose or corroded power lugs causing localized heating, Failed internal temperature sensor on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF power before tightening any internal connections.

  • Check installation location: Ensure the Grizzl‑E is mounted vertically on a solid surface with adequate airflow. Remove any objects blocking vents or covering the unit.
  • Inspect for heat damage: After power is OFF and the unit has cooled, remove the cover and look for browned plastic, melted insulation, or a burnt smell near the contactor and terminal block.
  • Tighten connections: Gently tighten line and load lugs on the contactor and terminal block to the specified torque. Loose connections can cause overheating.
  • Monitor ambient temperature: If installed in a garage or enclosure that gets very hot, consider improving ventilation or shading.
  • Persistent thermal error: If the unit trips even when cool and connections are sound, the internal temperature sensor or control board may be defective and require replacement.
