Possible Causes

Tripped household breaker or GFCI, Faulty power switch, Damaged power cord, Blown internal fuse or failed power supply on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Always unplug the grill before opening any panels.

  • Verify external power: Test the outlet with another device. Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
  • Inspect power cord and plug: Look for visible damage. Replace the cord if any cuts or burns are present.
  • Check power switch: Ensure the main power switch (if equipped) is in the ON position and feels firm, not loose or wobbly.
  • Inspect internal fuse: Remove the control box cover and locate the main fuse. Replace with the same rating if blown. If it blows again immediately, there is a short in the board or wiring.

If the grill remains dead after these checks, the internal power supply or main control board is likely failed and should be replaced by a qualified technician.
