Display shows HOP or hopper error and grill reports pellet feed issues

Possible Causes
Pellet level sensor (if equipped) dirty or stuck, Excessive sawdust blocking auger intake, Hopper lid switch (if equipped) not closing, Wet pellets clumping at intake
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn the grill OFF and unplug it.
- Empty the hopper completely and vacuum out pellet dust and debris.
- If your model has a pellet level sensor or hopper lid switch, inspect and clean these components so they move freely.
- Check the auger intake opening for clumped or swollen pellets and clear them.
- Refill with fresh, dry pellets and restart the grill.
Warning: Do not spray water or cleaners directly into the hopper; moisture will ruin pellets and can damage sensors.
