Possible Causes

Loose power cord connection, Failing internal power supply on control board, Voltage drop from long extension cord, Intermittent short in wiring harness

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.
