How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the grill. Allow it to cool before accessing the fan.
Steps to restore airflow:

- Check wiring: Ensure the fan connector is fully seated on the control board and that wires are intact.
- Test fan motor: Bench-test the fan with appropriate AC voltage. Replace the fan if it does not run smoothly.
- Check board output: If the fan is good but does not receive power during operation, replace the Royal Gourmet main control board.
