How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the grill from power before opening any panels. Do not bypass fuses or safety devices.
- Step 1 – Verify outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
- Step 2 – Inspect power cord: Check for visible damage, cuts, or burn marks. Replace the cord if compromised.
- Step 3 – Check internal fuse: Remove the controller and look for an inline or board-mounted fuse. If blown, replace only with the same type and rating. A repeatedly blowing fuse indicates another fault.
- Step 4 – Inspect control board: Look for burnt components or discoloration. If present, replace the main control board.
- Step 5 – Avoid unsafe workarounds: Never hard-wire around the controller or fuses. If you are not comfortable working with AC power, contact a qualified technician.
