Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly cycle power while the grill is hot.
- Power cycle: Turn off the grill, unplug it for 60 seconds, then plug back in and try again.
- Check button response: Press other buttons to see if they respond. If only the Start button fails, the keypad may be defective.
- Inspect connections: With power disconnected, remove the control panel and check the ribbon cable or connectors between the display and main board. Reseat them firmly.
- Replace control panel: If the Start button remains unresponsive, replace the control panel or full control board assembly as designed on your model.
