troubleshooting help. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the Traeger Parts
Department

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.
4) If the Auger Drive Motor
is not
operating but the Draft Inducer Fan
is
operating, the
problem is in the Auger system, which will need to be checked.
a) With the Switch/Dial OFF, locate the small fan blade on the back of the Auger
Drive Motor.
b) While watching the fan blade, turn the Switch/Dial to ON. If the fan blade
does
not
turn, turn the Switch/Dial to OFF. This indicates a defective Auger Drive
Motor and it will need to be replaced. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the
Traeger Parts Department
(SECTION SEVEN)
to place an order.
c) If the fan blade turns a bit and then stops, continue watching and turn the
Switch/Dial to OFF. If the fan blade UNWINDS slightly, this indicates a jam in
the Auger system which will need to be cleared.
d) Disconnect Power Cord from electrical outlet and remove Pellets from the Pellet
Hopper. Check for foreign objects and wet/decomposed Pellets, both of which
can cause a jam in the Auger system. The Auger will need to be removed to
clear a jam in the Auger system. See “HOW DO I REMOVE THE AUGER IF IT
JAMS?” section below.
`
HOW DO I REMOVE THE AUGER IF IT JAMS?
1) Remove any covers necessary to access the Auger Drive Motor.
