Troubleshooting

Possible Remedies (Unplug grill first when possible)
Call Customer service (800) 750-2723.
Visually inspect the ignition system. Try to start the grill again. If
the grill fails to start a second time call customer service (800)
750-2723.
Press the power and the prime button at the same time to
resume standard operation.
Possible Remedies (Unplug grill first when possible)
Plug another electrical device into that outlet to confirm power
Reset the GFI and initiate startup procedure
Possible Remedies (Unplug grill first when possible)
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If oiling the
blower does not help, the blower may be bad.
If operating the grill on the highest heat setting, the room
temperature could increase enough and lead to potential
overheating situations. If this happens, try operating at a lower
heat setting.
This pellet grill is designed and tested to use cooking wood
pellets. Check for signs of fuel other than wood pellets. No
other types of fuel have been approved for this pellet grill. If
there are signs of other types of fuel being used, stop using
them immediately.
A power surge, spike, or voltage drop could cause the
thermocouple to malfunction. Use a surge protector
If the other items check out OK, replace the thermocouple.
Possible Remedies (Unplug grill first when possible)
Follow all cleaning procedures in the maintenance section of
the owner's manual.
Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.
Visually inspect the air intake that leads into the burnpot for
foreign material.
Clean fan blades and inspect bearings for wear. Ensure the
fan is free of any obstructions.
The brand of pellets or the batch of pellets that are being used
may be of poor quality. If possible, try a different brand of
pellets. You might also want to try a brand that is made from
a different type of wood (softwood vs. hardwood). Different
woods have different characteristics when being burned.
