Possible Causes
Tripped breaker or GFCI, Faulty power cord, Failed power switch, Open internal fuse on controller
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the grill is switched off before plugging or unplugging. Do not open the controller while it is connected to power.
- Check household circuit: Verify the breaker or GFCI feeding the outlet has not tripped. Reset if necessary.
- Test outlet: Plug in a lamp or other appliance to confirm the outlet is live.
- Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage. Try a different, properly rated cord if the cord is removable.
- Check power switch: Toggle the grill's power switch several times. If it feels loose or does not click, it may be faulty and require replacement.
- Internal fuse (advanced): With the grill unplugged, remove the controller and inspect for a replaceable fuse. If blown, replace only with the same type and rating. If it blows again immediately, the controller likely has an internal short and should be replaced.
