Possible Causes

Tripped GFCI outlet, Faulty power cord, Blown internal fuse, Failed main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the grill before opening any panels. Do not attempt repairs on live electrical circuits.

  • Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Access fuse: Remove the control panel or rear access cover to locate the internal fuse. If blown, replace it with the same type and rating. If it blows again immediately, stop and seek professional service.
  • Check board connections: Ensure the AC input wires are firmly connected to the control board.
  • Replace control board: If power is present at the board but the display remains dead, replace the main control board with a Char‑Broil compatible unit.
