How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the grill before inspecting wiring. Allow hot surfaces to cool.
- Step 1 – Secure power cord: Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the outlet and that the cord is not being tugged or flexed during use.
- Step 2 – Inspect internal connections: Remove the control panel and check all spade and plug connectors on the control board. Reseat each connector firmly.
- Step 3 – Check for heat damage: Look for browned or melted areas on the control board or connectors, which indicate overheating. Replace any damaged components.
- Step 4 – Test with different outlet: Plug the grill into a known good outlet on a different circuit to rule out house wiring issues.
- Step 5 – Replace control board if symptoms persist: If power drops continue despite solid connections and a good outlet, the control board may be failing and should be replaced.
