Display shows 'Fan Err' and grill will not ignite or maintain fire.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Combustion fan not spinning, Fan speed sensor (if equipped) not reading, Loose fan connector, Failed fan motor

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

Inspect fan movement: Remove the side or rear panel and spin the fan by hand. It should move freely.
Check connector: Ensure the fan plug is fully seated on the control board and that no pins are bent.
Clean fan: Remove grease and dust from the fan blades and housing to reduce drag.
Test operation: With panels off, plug in and start the grill. If the fan does not start or runs erratically, replace the combustion fan with an OEM GMG fan assembly.
