How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the grill before accessing the fan.
- Access fan: Remove the side or rear panel to reach the combustion fan.
- Inspect blades: Remove any debris or grease buildup from the fan wheel. Ensure no wires are contacting the blades.
- Tighten mounts: Check and tighten the fan mounting screws.
