How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately unplug the grill and do not operate it until inspected. Risk of fire or electric shock.
- Inspect control area: Remove the control panel and look for burnt connectors, melted plastic, or scorched PCB areas.
- Check wiring harness: Follow wires from the board to the igniter, auger, and fans. Replace any wires with damaged insulation.
- Replace damaged parts: Any burnt connectors or the main control board itself should be replaced with OEM Broil King Crown Pellet parts.
- Test components: Before reconnecting, test motors and igniter for shorts (if you have a meter) to avoid damaging the new board.
- Professional service: If you are not comfortable with electrical diagnostics, contact a qualified technician.
