Possible Causes
Pellet feed rate too low, Auger motor stalling intermittently, Poor pellet quality, Excessive ash restricting airflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the grill to cool and unplug before internal cleaning.
- Clean fire pot and burn chamber: Remove ash and clinkers from the fire pot and surrounding area to restore airflow.
- Use quality pellets: Replace low-quality or crumbly pellets with premium, dry hardwood pellets recommended for pellet grills.
- Observe auger operation: With the hopper partially empty, start the grill and watch pellet movement. If pellets feed irregularly or stop, the auger motor may be weak or the auger may be binding.
- Check combustion fan: Ensure the fan runs continuously during operation and is not cutting out due to a loose connection or failing motor.
- Service auger or fan: Replace the auger motor or combustion fan if they are not operating reliably.
