How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the grill before cleaning or disassembly.

  • 1. Check pellets:
    • Empty the hopper and inspect pellets for moisture or swelling.
    • Refill with fresh, dry pellets.
  • 2. Clean fire pot and burn area:
    • Vacuum ash from the fire pot and barrel bottom.
    • Ensure air holes in the fire pot are clear.
  • 3. Verify ignition:
    • Start the grill and watch for smoke and flame within 5–8 minutes.
    • If there is no smoke or flame, test the igniter and fan as in ERR6.
  • 4. Check auger feed:
    • Confirm pellets are dropping into the fire pot during startup.
    • If not, inspect the auger motor and shaft for jams.
