Possible Causes

RTD probe partially pulled out of cook chamber, Damaged RTD wiring on Royal Gourmet grill, Probe tip not fully in hot air stream, Failing RTD sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Let the grill cool before adjusting the probe.

Steps to correct:

  • Inspect probe position: Ensure the RTD tip is fully inside the cook chamber and not recessed into the wall.
  • Check cable: Look for cuts, kinks, or melted insulation along the RTD wire. Replace if damaged.
  • Secure wiring: Route the RTD cable away from hot surfaces and moving parts.
  • Replace RTD: If readings remain inaccurate compared to a reference thermometer, install a new RTD temperature probe.
