How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the grill. Allow it to cool before cleaning.
- Clean firepot thoroughly: Remove all ash and debris to ensure consistent combustion.
- Stir pellets: During long cooks, occasionally check and stir pellets to prevent bridging.
- Observe auger and fan: Run the grill with grates removed and watch that pellets feed and the fan runs continuously. If either stops intermittently, inspect wiring and replace the failing component.
