Loud rattling or vibration noise from grill during operation

Safety first: Unplug the grill before tightening any fasteners or touching moving parts.

• Identify noise source: Run the grill briefly and listen near the fan, auger, and cook chamber to locate the vibration source. Then unplug before working.
• Tighten fasteners: Check and tighten screws securing the combustion fan, auger motor, and internal panels or heat shields.
• Inspect fan blades: Examine the fan for bent or damaged blades. Replace the fan if blades are deformed.
• Check auger alignment: Ensure the auger motor and shaft are aligned and not rubbing against the tube.
• Test again: After adjustments, run the grill to confirm the noise is reduced or eliminated.
