How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not open electrical enclosures while the grill is plugged in.

  • 1. Verify outlet:
    • Test the outlet with another appliance.
    • Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
  • 2. Inspect power cord:
    • Check for cuts, abrasions, or melted sections.
    • Ensure the cord is firmly plugged into both the grill and outlet.
  • 3. Check power switch:
    • Confirm the power switch (if separate from the control panel) is in the ON position.
    • If the switch feels loose or does not click, it may be faulty.
  • 4. Access control board:
    • Unplug the grill and remove the control panel.
    • Check for burnt components or loose power input connectors.
  • 5. Replace failed parts:
    • Replace a damaged power cord or power switch.
    • If power is present at the board but it does not light, replace the main control board.
