How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the grill before inspecting wiring or the control board.
- Use proper outlet: Plug the grill directly into a grounded outlet without an extension cord if possible.
- Check power cord and plug: Inspect for damage and ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet.
- Inspect internal connections: Remove the control panel and verify that all connectors are firmly seated on the control board.
- Look for shorts: Check wiring for bare spots touching metal surfaces. Repair or replace damaged wires.
- Replace control board: If flickering persists and wiring is sound, the control board’s power supply may be failing and should be replaced.
