Possible Causes

Undersized extension cord, Loose neutral or ground connection, Failing power supply section on control board, Shared circuit with heavy loads

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure all work on electrical connections is done with the grill unplugged.

Steps:

  • Use proper outlet: Plug the grill directly into a dedicated, grounded outlet. Avoid long or thin extension cords.
  • Inspect cord and plug: Check for heat damage or looseness at the plug blades.
  • Check internal connections: Verify that line, neutral, and ground connections at the control board are tight.
  • Separate circuits: Avoid running the grill on the same circuit as large appliances that cycle on and off.

If flickering persists, the control board’s power supply may be failing and should be replaced.
