Tepro Temperature Overshoot / Control Instability

Pellet grill overshoots set temperature by 30–60°C and struggles to stabilize

Possible Causes

RTD probe coated in heavy grease, RTD probe positioned too close to fire pot, Incorrect P‑setting or feed rate, Control board calibration drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the grill to cool before touching the probe or internal components.

  • 1. Clean RTD probe: Gently scrub the probe with a non‑abrasive pad and mild degreaser to remove baked‑on grease. A dirty probe responds slowly and can cause overshoot.
  • 2. Check probe location: Ensure the probe is mounted on the side wall away from direct flame and not shielded by foil or pans.
  • 3. Reset control settings: Restore factory P‑settings or feed parameters according to the Tepro manual. Avoid aggressive custom settings unless you understand their effect.
  • 4. Compare with reference thermometer: Place a reliable oven thermometer at grate level to compare readings. If the control consistently reads far off, consider replacing the RTD or control board.
