SECTION SIX: FREQUENTLY ASKED
WHY WON'T MY GRILL IGNITE?
1) Verify power at the electrical outlet.
a) If Power Cord is connected to a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter), check and reset
if necessary.
b) Initiate startup.
Still no ignition – Proceed to step 2.
2) Disconnect Power Cord from electrical outlet.
a) Remove the Control and check the fuse on back. Replace the fuse if blown.
Reinstall the Control!
b) Unplug Hot Rod connector (Purple/White wire pair), plug Power Cord into an
appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the Switch/Dial ON. NOTE: At
this point the Grill will not ignite.
c) Check the Draft Inducer Fan and the Auger Drive Motor for operation. If both
are operating -- the Hot Rod needs to be replaced. If one or both are not
operating, contact Traeger Technical Support (SECTION SEVEN) for additional
troubleshooting help. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the Traeger Parts
Department (SECTION SEVEN) to place an order.
3) If the problem is identified to be a failed Hot Rod, the Grill can still be used to cook
and smoke by following the MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS in SECTION
THREE of this OWNER'S MANUAL.
WHY ARE NO PELLETS BEING DELIVERED INTO THE FIREPOT?
1) Verify that there are Pellets in the Pellet Hopper. If this is the INITIAL FIRING or the
Grill has run out of Pellets, allow sufficient time for the Pellets to travel from the
Pellet Hopper to the Firepot (can take up to 7 minutes).
2) Initiate startup. See INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS in SECTION TWO of this
OWNER'S MANUAL.
Still no Pellets in the Firepot – Proceed to step 3.
3) Disconnect Power Cord from electrical outlet.
a) Unplug the Auger Drive Motor (Red/White wire pair connector) and the Draft
Inducer Fan (Orange/White wire pair connector).
b) Reconnect the Draft Inducer Fan to the Red/White wire pair and the Auger
Drive Motor to the Orange/White pair.
c) Plug Power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the
Switch/Dial ON.
d) If the Auger Drive Motor is operating (check the small fan blade on the back of
the motor), the problem is in the Three Speed or Digital Control, which will need
to be replaced. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the Traeger Parts
Department (SECTION SEVEN) to place an order.
