How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid using damaged cords or overloading circuits.

  • Step 1 – Plug directly into outlet: Remove any extension cords and plug the Monument grill directly into a dedicated outlet.
  • Step 2 – Check cord and plug: Inspect for heat damage or looseness. Replace if needed.
  • Step 3 – Test igniter current (advanced): Have a qualified person measure current draw of the igniter. Excessive draw indicates a failing igniter that should be replaced.
