How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool and the lid is closed before attempting repeated starts.

  • Confirm procedure: Verify you are following the exact startup sequence described in the Broil King Crown Pellet manual (temperature selection, pressing start, etc.).
  • Clear any errors: Look for any error icons or messages and clear them by cycling power or following the manual’s reset steps.
  • Test keypad: Press other buttons to see if they respond. If only the start button fails, the keypad membrane may be damaged.
  • Power reset: Unplug the grill for several minutes, then plug back in and attempt startup again.
  • Replace control panel or board: If the keypad is unresponsive or the controller will not enter startup mode, replace the control panel assembly or main control board as specified for your model.
