How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the grill before accessing the fan compartment. Do not run the grill with the fan housing open.
- Step 1 – Listen for fan: During startup, you should hear a steady fan noise. If silent or intermittent, suspect the fan.
- Step 2 – Access fan: Remove the side or bottom panel (depending on ASMOKE model) to expose the combustion fan assembly.
- Step 3 – Check for obstructions: Inspect the fan blades for grease, ash, or foreign objects. Clean with a brush and vacuum. Ensure the blades spin freely by hand.
- Step 4 – Inspect wiring: Verify the fan connector at the controller is fully seated and wires are not cut or burned.
- Step 5 – Test fan: With the fan exposed and fingers clear, plug in the grill and start it. If the fan does not spin but power is present, replace the ASMOKE combustion fan motor.
