Possible Causes
Dirty or obstructed combustion fan, Failing fan motor, Loose fan wiring, Faulty fan speed feedback circuit on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and wait for the grill to cool.
- Clean the fan: Access the combustion fan and clean blades and housing with a brush or compressed air. Remove ash and grease that may slow the fan.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure no wires, foil, or debris are contacting the fan blades.
- Verify wiring: Confirm the fan connector is secure at the control board and at the fan motor.
- Test operation: Reconnect power and start the grill. Listen for steady fan operation. If the fan is noisy, slow, or intermittent, replace the combustion fan assembly.
- Controller diagnosis: If a new fan does not resolve the FAN error, the control board’s fan circuit may be defective and require replacement.
