E1
Pellet grill will not ignite; display shows E1 shortly after startup, no visible glow from igniter.
Igniter Failure / Ignition Circuit Fault
E10
Display shows E10; grill will not start and may indicate a power or voltage issue.
Input Power / Low Voltage Fault
E2
Pellet grill shuts down during startup with E2 on the display; auger does not feed pellets.
Auger Motor / Feed System Fault
E3
Grill displays E3 and shuts down; temperature overshoots setpoint or climbs rapidly beyond target.
Overtemperature / Runaway Fire Condition
E4
Display shows E4 and grill will not start; fan may run briefly but no heat is produced.
Combustion Fan / Induction Fan Fault
E5
Grill displays E5 and shuts down; temperature fails to reach setpoint and may drop unexpectedly.
Low Temperature / Flame-Out Detected
E6
Display shows E6; grill will not start or shuts down shortly after startup; temperature reading is obviously wrong (e.g., -40°F or 700°F at room temperature).
Temperature Sensor (RTD) Open/Short Circuit
E7
Grill displays E7; Wi-Fi or app connectivity features are unavailable or unstable while basic grill functions may still work.
Wi-Fi / Connectivity Module Fault
E8
Display shows E8; grill powers on but buttons or dial do not respond correctly, or display is frozen.
User Interface / Keypad Fault
E9
Grill displays E9 and shuts down; internal diagnostics indicate a general control board fault.
Main Control Board Failure
Symptom
Ash accumulates excessively in the cookbox and around the fire pot, reducing performance between cleanings.
Poor Ash Management
Symptom
Auger makes loud grinding or squealing noises during operation.
Noisy Auger / Mechanical Binding
Symptom
Buttons or control dial are physically stuck, hard to turn, or do not click properly.
Mechanical Control Panel Wear
Symptom
Caster wheels do not roll smoothly or lock properly, making the grill hard to move or secure.
Caster Wear / Mobility Issues
Symptom
Combustion fan is very loud, rattling, or vibrating during operation.
Noisy Combustion Fan
Symptom
Display is dim, flickering, or unreadable, but grill may still function.
Display / Backlight Degradation
Symptom
Grease bucket repeatedly falls off or does not hang securely.
Loose or Damaged Grease Bucket Hanger
Symptom
Grease leaking from areas other than the grease bucket, including door seams or underside of cookbox.
Grease Management System Overflow / Leak
Symptom
Grill fails to reach set temperature; struggles to get above 200–250°F even on high settings.
Low Heat Output
Symptom
Grill overshoots set temperature by 50°F or more and cycles between very high and low temperatures.
Temperature Overshoot / Poor Temperature Control
Symptom
Grill powers on but will not ignite; pellets feed into the fire pot but no flame develops.
No Ignition / Failed Hot Rod
Symptom
Grill produces excessive white smoke and sooty residue on food.
Incomplete Combustion / Rich Burn
Symptom
Grill produces very little smoke flavor even at low temperatures.
Low Smoke Production
Symptom
Grill shuts down mid-cook with unburned pellets in the fire pot and temperature dropping to ambient.
Flame-Out During Cooking
Symptom
Grill temperature swings widely when the lid is opened and closed, and recovery is very slow.
Slow Temperature Recovery / Heat Loss
Symptom
Grill will not power on at all; no lights or display when plugged in.
No Power / Dead Grill
Symptom
Interior light (if equipped) does not turn on when the switch is pressed.
Failed Grill Interior Light
Symptom
Lid does not close evenly or rubs against the body, causing heat and smoke leaks.
Misaligned or Warped Lid
Symptom
Paint on the exterior or lid is blistering, peeling, or discoloring.
Finish Degradation from Heat or Corrosion
Symptom
Pellets back up into the fire pot and overflow into the cookbox, sometimes causing large flare-ups.
Overfeeding Pellets / Auger Overrun
Symptom
Pellets in the hopper become swollen, clumped, or form a solid mass, causing feed issues.
Pellet Swelling / Hopper Moisture Contamination
Symptom
Rust forming inside the cookbox, on grates, or on the drip tray.
Corrosion / Rusting Components
Symptom
Side table or shelf feels loose or wobbly when placing items on it.
Loose Side Shelf / Structural Instability
Symptom
Strong chemical or burning plastic smell during operation, not typical wood smoke.
Electrical Overheating / Component Burn
Symptom
Visible flames and heavy smoke from the cookbox; possible popping sounds and very high temperatures.
Grease Fire in Cookbox
Symptom
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection frequently drops, or grill cannot be discovered by the Weber app.
