Check to see if the igniter rod glows red
when the power is turned on. This only
happens for 4 minutes during start-up. If
igniter does not glow red then check the
connection of the plug by disconnecting
the power and removing the access
panel to access the connection plugs.
Look for the plug labeled IGNITER. Make
sure it is tightly connected to the back of
the control board.
Make sure pellets are feeding into the
firepot during start-up. If the auger is not
moving, check the connection of the plug
by disconnecting the power and
removing the
to access the
rear of the circuit board. The plug is
labeled AUGER. Make sure that it is
tightly connected to the back of the
control board.

The auger works on a timed interval
basis, at which the auger runs depending
on the temperature setting of the
controller. During start-up, the auger will
run for approximately 2 minutes. It then
may shut off for a specified period of time
depending on the temperature reading
inside the grill, then continue to run
again.
Empty the pellet hopper to see if your
pellets have been exposed to moisture. If
they have absorbed moisture or water,
they will swell and jam your auger.
Check to make sure that no foreign
objects have fallen into the pellet hopper
(like dirt or rocks). Remove any foreign
objects if necessary.
