How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the grill before removing the controller.

Steps to address generic ERR:

  • Full power reset: Unplug the grill for at least 5 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and attempt to power on.
  • Check for moisture: Inspect the controller face and housing for signs of water intrusion or condensation. Allow the controller to dry completely in a warm, dry environment if moisture is present.
  • Inspect wiring harness: Remove the controller and verify that all harness connectors are firmly seated and that no wires are shorted or pinched.
  • Factory reset (if supported): Perform a factory reset according to your Recteq model's instructions to clear any corrupted settings.
  • Firmware update (if available): Some newer Recteq controllers support firmware updates via Wi-Fi or USB. Follow Recteq's official procedure to update firmware.
  • Replace controller: If ERR persists after these steps, the controller is likely defective and should be replaced with a Recteq-compatible unit.

Warning: Do not attempt to reprogram or modify the controller beyond official Recteq procedures; this can create unsafe operating conditions.
