How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn OFF and unplug the grill. Do not continue operating until the source is identified.
Steps:
- Visual inspection: Remove the control panel and service covers. Look for discolored, melted, or charred wires and connectors.
- Check terminal tightness: Gently tug on spade connectors and screws at the control board. Tighten any loose connections.
- Isolate damaged parts: Replace any burnt connectors or wiring harness sections with Napoleon-approved parts.
- Board inspection: If the control board shows burn marks or bulging components, it must be replaced.
