How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the grill before removing the controller.
- Plug the grill directly into a known‑good outlet without an extension cord.
- Remove the controller and inspect for moisture, condensation, or corrosion. Allow it to dry completely if damp.
- Check all low‑voltage connectors on the back of the controller and reseat them.
- If the display remains dim or flickers, replace the control board/display assembly.
Warning: Operating with a failing display can make it difficult to monitor temperature and settings safely.
