SOLUTION
Flip the Master Switch on the underside of the Control Board.
Ensure unit is plugged into a working power source. Reset breaker. Ensure GFCI
is a minimum 10 amp service (see electric wire diagram for access to electric
components). Ensure all wire connections are firmly connected and dry.
Disconnect the unit from the power source and remove hopper access panel (see
electric wire diagram for diagram). Pull the Control Board out and then check
the fuse for a broken wire or if the wire has turned black. If yes, fuse needs to be
manually replaced.
Remove hopper access panel (see electric wire diagram for diagram), and ensure
all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. Ensure GFCI is a minimum 10
amp service.
Control Board needs to be replaced. Contact customer service for replacement
part.
Check burn grate for proper positioning. Follow care and maintenance for ash
build-up.
Turn the unit off by pressing and holding the power button. Remove the cooking
components from the Main Barrel. Press the power button to turn the unit on, and
inspect the auger feed system. Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets
into the burn grate. If not operating properly, call customer service for assistance.
Follow care and maintenance instructions.
Grill probe needs to be replaced. Contact customer service.
Attempt cooking at a lower temperature. Grease does have a flash point. Keep the
temperature under 180°C / 350°F when cooking highly greasy food.
Follow care and maintenance instructions.
Close the flame broiler for indirect flame cooking.
Follow care and maintenance instructions.
Remove moist wood pellets from hopper. Follow care and maintenance
instructions to clean out. Replace with dry wood pellets.
Clear burn grate of moist, wood pellets. Follow hopper priming procedure.
Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked. Follow care
and maintenance instructions if dirty.
Check proper positioning of cooking components. Check burn grate for proper
positioning. Follow care and maintenance instructions for ash build-up. Check
that the air intake for the fan is not blocked. If no blockage, remove hopper access
panel (see electric wire diagram for diagram) and locate the blue and white fan
wires. Ensure that connection is tight by lightly tugging on each wire. If loose, push
back into connector until it clicks. Check fan blades for cleanliness.
Check hopper to check that fuel level is sufficient, and replenish if low. Should
the quality of wood pellets be poor, or the length of the pellets too long, this may
cause an obstruction in the feed system. Remove pellets and follow care and
maintenance instructions.
Check status of grill probe. Follow care and maintenance instructions if dirty.
Contact customer service for a replacement part if damaged.
