How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the grill and let it cool before accessing the fan.

  • Inspect wiring: Remove the side or rear panel to access the fan. Ensure the fan connector is fully seated on the control board.
  • Check for obstructions: Remove any debris, grease, or insects from the fan blades and housing.
  • Test fan: With the grill reassembled, plug it in and start a cycle while listening for the fan. If it does not run, the fan motor is likely failed and should be replaced.
