Troubleshooting

ERROR CODES

On a rare occasion, your controller may detect an issue and you may see an error code displayed on the screen. 

The following table offers descriptions and recommended solutions:

ERROR CODE

ERROR DESCRIPTION

SOLUTION

ER1

Grill Probe (RTD) Sensor 

Failure

Check wiring connection from RTD to the controller.  If wire 

terminals are secure, RTD replacement may be required.

ER2

Ignition Failure

• 

Inspect pellet feed system; verify pellets reach fire pot; restart.

• 

Remove excess ash and/or pellet build-up in fire pot; restart.

• Check ambient outdoor temperature.  If RTD is too cold, the 

pellets may ignite but not get the RTD warm enough within the 

programmed time. 

ER3

High Temperature Limit 

Protection

• Allow grill to cool. Inspect cause of excessive temperature 

(grease fire, food fire, excess pellets). 

• 

Clean grease or food residue. Clean fire pot. Restart grill. 

ER4

Low Temperature Limit

• 

Close lid (if grilling for long time with lid open). Restart grill.

• 

Check pellet feed system and ensure pellets reach fire pot.  

Clean fire pot if needed.  Restart grill.

ER5

Probe Communication Failure

Check meat probe connection at each port where attached.  

Remove mini plug and re-insert.  If error continues, replace meat 

probe.

ER9

Network Communication 

Failure

Check Wi-Fi network is operating properly and the grill is in range 

of a strong network signal.  Allow time for proper connection 

to be established.  If it does not re-connect, reboot the grill.  

Sometimes rebooting the network server/router is required to 

issue new IP addresses (due to quantity of connected devices).

NOTE:

 To dismiss an error code, reboot the controller by turning it off for a few seconds.

IMPORTANT:

 Use only factory authorized parts, if replacement is necessary.  The use of any unauthorized part 

can be dangerous and will void your warranty.

QUESTION

ANSWER

How do I clear an auger jam?

1.  Unplug the grill and wait for it to cool.

2. 

Look inside the hopper to determine if the jam can be cleared from there or 

near the fire pot. 

3.  If the jam cannot be cleared, empty all pellets from the hopper and then 

remove the hopper assembly from the grill.

4. 

Dissemble the hopper housing to expose the internal components.

5. 

Remove the auger motor and auger screw.

Contact customer service if more instructions are required.

Why is the temperature 

fluctuating?

Temperature fluctuations are normal.  Any significant fluctuation could be the result 

of wind and ambient temperature, pellet quantity, or lack of maintenance. Avoid 

using the pellet grill when it is windy or raining outside.

Why is the fire not remaining lit?

Excess ash in the fire pot can cause ignition failure and prevent the fire from 

burning. Unplug the grill and wait for it to cool, then remove the cooking grids, 

grease tray, and heat diffuser.  Remove any pellets and ash from the fire pot. A 

vacuum with a hose attachment is ideal to remove ashes from the fire pot.

Why is the grill not heating to the 

set temperature?

This is typically due to lack of air in the fire pot or poor pellet quality. Verify the 

fan is operating properly.  Inspect the fire pot and remove excess ash. Check the 

hopper and add more pellets if necessary. Replace them if they are damp. 

How do I avoid flare-ups?

If you are cooking food that contains a lot of fat or grease, keep the temperature at 

or below 350 °F (177 °C).  Avoid placing food directly over the fire pot area.
