Display flashes FAN or fan icon error and grill shuts down or fails to ignite properly.

Safety first: Unplug the grill and ensure the firepot is cool before accessing the fan area.

Steps to troubleshoot:

• Access the fan: Remove the lower or rear access panel to expose the combustion fan assembly.
• Check for obstructions: Spin the fan blades by hand. They should rotate freely without scraping. Remove any grease buildup, foil, or debris blocking the blades.
• Inspect wiring: Confirm the fan connector is firmly plugged into the control board and that the wires are not cut or melted.
• Test fan operation: With the grill reassembled but still open enough to see the fan, plug in and start the grill. If the fan does not spin at startup, the motor may be bad.
• Voltage test (advanced): If you are qualified, measure voltage at the fan connector during startup. If proper voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the fan.
• Replace fan: Remove mounting screws holding the fan to the housing. Install a new combustion fan motor and blade assembly, ensuring correct airflow direction.
• Reassemble and test: Reinstall access panels, start the grill, and verify that the fan runs continuously during ignition and that the FAN error is cleared.
