How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the grill before checking internal wiring.
- Check power cord and outlet: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and that the cord is not being pulled or flexed during operation.
- Inspect internal wiring: Remove access panels and gently tug on connectors to the control board, auger motor, fan, and igniter. Reseat any loose connectors.
- Monitor components: Run the grill with panels off (keeping clear of moving parts) and observe whether the fan or auger stop before shutdown.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the control board area is not blocked and can dissipate heat. Clean dust from vents.
- Replace failing component: If a specific motor or the control board is cutting out intermittently, replace that component.
