Possible Causes
Debris in caster bearings, Rusted caster stems, Damaged wheel locks, Overloading on uneven surfaces
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Move the grill only when cool. Lock casters when working underneath.
- Clean casters: Remove debris, grease, and dirt from around the wheels and stems.
- Lubricate (if allowed): Apply a light lubricant to caster bearings and stems if recommended by Weber.
- Check locks: Test the locking mechanism on each caster. If it does not hold, replace the caster.
- Replace worn casters: Install new Weber-compatible casters, ensuring they are fully seated and locked into the frame.
