Possible Causes

Shorted or open Timberwolf meat probe, Damaged probe jack on control panel, Moisture in probe connector, Broken wire in probe cable

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the grill before inspecting internal wiring. External meat probes can be handled with the grill powered off and cool.

  • Disconnect all probes: Remove any Timberwolf-branded meat probes from the front panel jacks and see if the error clears after a power cycle.
  • Inspect probe cables: Look for cuts, kinks, or melted sections along the probe wires. Replace any damaged Timberwolf Meat Probe.
  • Check probe jacks: Examine the probe input jacks on the control panel for corrosion, grease, or physical damage. Clean gently with contact cleaner.
  • Test probe resistance: With a multimeter, measure resistance across the probe tip and sleeve. An open or shorted reading indicates a failed probe.
  • Replace faulty components: If a specific probe triggers the error, replace that probe. If errors persist with known-good probes, the Timberwolf Control Panel Probe Jack Board or main control board may need replacement.
