Control panel shows Er8 and grill shuts down; often associated with power fluctuations or tripped GFCI.

Safety first: Unplug the grill before inspecting electrical components. If you are not comfortable working with AC power, contact a qualified technician.

Steps to check:

• Verify outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance to ensure it provides stable 120V AC (or local standard). Avoid using long, undersized extension cords.
• Inspect power cord: Check the Royal Gourmet grill's power cord for cuts, crushed sections, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
• Check internal fuse: Remove the control panel and locate any inline or board-mounted fuses. If a fuse is blown, investigate for shorts before replacing with the same rating.
• Isolate components: Disconnect igniter, fan, and auger motor one at a time from the control board and attempt to power on. If Er8 clears when a specific component is unplugged, that component is likely shorted.
• Replace faulty component: Replace the shorted igniter, fan, or auger motor with a Royal Gourmet-compatible part.
• Reassemble and test: After repairs, reconnect all components, restore power, and verify normal startup without Er8.
