If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the grill from mains before inspecting electrical components.
- Check outlet: Verify the wall outlet has power and that any GFCI or breaker has not tripped. Test with another appliance.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Check main fuse: Many Outdoorchef boards have a replaceable fuse near the power input. Remove the fuse and inspect; replace only with the same type and rating.
- Board inspection: If the fuse blows immediately or there are visible burn marks on the board, the internal power supply is likely failed.
If replacing the fuse and verifying the cord does not restore power, the main control board/power module will typically need replacement. This repair involves mains voltage and is best handled by a qualified technician.
