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.
  • Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If it feels rough or wobbles, the motor bearings or wheel may be damaged.
