Possible Causes

Bent hinge pins, Loose hinge bolts, Warped lid from overheating, Obstruction at gasket area

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool before adjusting hinges or lids.

  • Inspect hinges: Check hinge brackets and pins for bending or looseness. Tighten mounting bolts.
  • Realign lid: Loosen hinge bolts slightly, adjust the lid position so it seats evenly on the gasket, then retighten.
  • Check gasket: Remove any debris or buildup on the gasket surface. Replace a compressed or damaged Enders lid gasket.
  • Replace bent parts: If hinges or lid are severely warped, replace the affected components.
