Possible Causes
Wind affecting combustion, RTD probe placement or contamination, control algorithm struggling with a small load, loose RTD connection.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep hands away from hot surfaces while monitoring the temperature.
- Shield from wind: Move the grill to a more sheltered location or use a windbreak.
- Clean RTD probe: Gently clean the temperature probe of grease and soot.
- Check RTD wiring: Ensure the RTD connector is firmly seated at the control board.
- Stabilize load: Large, cold food loads can cause swings. Allow extra preheat time and avoid frequent lid opening.
- Replace RTD if needed: If swings remain extreme, replace the RTD temperature probe.
