Control panel displays Er6 and grill shuts down; fan and auger may stop unexpectedly.

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the grill to cool fully before accessing the fan compartment.

Steps to diagnose:

• Locate the combustion fan: On most Royal Gourmet pellet grills, the fan is mounted under or behind the firebox, connected to a round air inlet.
• Inspect for obstructions: Check that the fan blades spin freely by hand. Remove any debris, ash, or wiring that may be contacting the blades.
• Check wiring: Verify the fan's power connector is firmly attached to the main control board and that the wires are not pinched or burned.
• Test fan motor: With the fan disconnected, measure resistance across the motor leads. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. If comfortable and safe, you can bench-test the fan with the appropriate AC voltage to confirm operation.
• Replace the fan if faulty: Remove mounting screws, detach the fan from the air inlet, and install a new Royal Gourmet-compatible combustion fan assembly. Ensure the gasket or seal is intact to prevent air leaks.
• Reassemble and test: Reconnect wiring, restore power, and start the grill. Confirm the fan runs continuously during ignition and operation and that Er6 does not reappear.
