Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and let the grill cool before working near the fan.
- Clean fan: Access the combustion fan and inspect for grease buildup or debris on the blades and housing. Clean thoroughly with a brush and degreaser, avoiding water on the motor.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure no wires or insulation are rubbing against the fan blades.
- Verify connections: Reseat the fan connector at the controller. Look for heat damage or loose terminals.
- Spin test: Manually spin the fan; it should coast freely. If it stops abruptly or feels rough, replace the fan motor.
- Test operation: Reconnect power and start the grill. Listen for smooth, consistent fan operation. If the FAN error returns despite a good motor and wiring, the controller’s fan driver circuit may be defective and require controller replacement.
