Display shows “LEr” (Low Error) and grill shuts down or fails to reach set temperature.

Safety first: Turn the grill OFF and unplug it. Allow it to cool before cleaning the firepot.

• 1. Check pellet supply:
  • Open the hopper and verify it is at least half full.
  • Stir pellets to break up any bridging or tunneling.
  • Discard pellets that are swollen, crumbly, or damp and refill with fresh, dry Traeger hardwood pellets.
• 2. Clean firepot and burn area:
  • Remove grates, drip tray, and heat baffle.
  • Vacuum ash from the firepot and surrounding area.
  • Ensure the firepot holes are not clogged.
• 3. Verify fan operation:
  • With components removed, plug in the grill and start it.
  • Confirm the induction fan spins and you feel airflow into the firepot.
  • If the fan does not run, test and replace the induction fan.
• 4. Restart correctly:
  • Perform a proper startup: set to SMOKE or IGNITE, lid open until you see consistent smoke and hear the fire, then close the lid.
• 5. If LEr persists:
  • Check auger operation for intermittent feeding.
  • Inspect RTD for incorrect low readings and replace if needed.
