Possible Causes
Failed combustion fan motor, Loose fan connector at control board, Obstructed fan blades, Faulty control board fan driver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.
- Access the combustion fan: Remove the side or bottom service panel to locate the combustion fan assembly attached to the fire pot housing.
- Inspect fan blades: Check for grease, ash, or debris preventing the fan from spinning. Clean the blades and housing thoroughly.
- Spin test: With power still disconnected, spin the fan by hand. It should rotate freely. If it binds or grinds, the fan motor is likely failing and should be replaced.
- Check wiring: Verify the fan connector is fully seated on the control board and that the wires are intact and not heat-damaged.
- Replace fan if needed: Remove mounting screws, disconnect wiring, and install a new Broil King Crown Pellet combustion fan assembly.
- Controller check: If a known-good fan does not run and Er7 remains, the control board may be defective and require replacement.
