ERR4
Rösle
RTD Temperature Probe Open Circuit
Grill displays ERR4 and will not complete startup; temperature never rises above ambient.

Possible Causes
Broken RTD temperature sensor, Disconnected or damaged RTD wiring, Corroded RTD connector at control board, Faulty temperature input on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the grill before accessing wiring or the control panel.
- Locate the RTD probe: On Rösle pellet grills, the RTD (resistance temperature detector) is usually a small metal probe protruding into the cook chamber from the side wall.
- Inspect the probe: Check for physical damage, kinks, or cuts in the probe sheath and cable. If the probe is broken or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
- Check connections: Remove the control panel cover to access the main board. Locate the RTD connector and ensure it is firmly seated and free of corrosion.
- Continuity test (if you have a meter): Disconnect the RTD from the board and measure resistance across the two leads. A typical RTD will show a finite resistance (often 100–2000 ohms depending on type). An open (infinite) reading indicates a failed probe.
- Replace RTD if faulty: Unscrew the old probe from the cook chamber wall, gently pull the cable through, and route the new Rösle-compatible RTD sensor along the same path, avoiding hot surfaces. Secure with the original hardware and reconnect to the board.
- Test operation: Plug in the grill and verify that the display now shows a realistic ambient temperature and no ERR4.
