How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the grill to cool before opening panels.
- Check power cord fit: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and at the grill inlet. Replace worn cords or use a different outlet if the receptacle is loose.
- Ventilation: Make sure the controller compartment has adequate ventilation and is not blocked by covers or stored items.
- Monitor ignition: Observe a startup cycle. If the flame goes out shortly after ignition, clean the fire pot and verify fan and pellet feed operation.
- Inspect controller: Look for signs of overheating or discoloration on the board. If the grill consistently shuts down at similar times, the controller may be failing and require replacement.
