Possible Causes

Aging RTD probe, RTD not fully inserted into the cook chamber, Control board calibration drift, Heavy grease on the sensor.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use heat-resistant gloves when checking the temperature on a hot grill.

  • Clean the RTD probe: Wipe off grease and soot.
  • Verify insertion depth: Ensure the probe extends properly into the cook chamber and is not pulled back into the wall.
  • Compare with a reference thermometer: Place a reliable oven/grill thermometer near the center of the grate and compare readings at several temperatures.
  • Replace the RTD if off by more than 25°F: Install a new Nexgrill RTD probe if readings are consistently inaccurate.
  • Controller calibration (if available): Some models allow offset adjustment; follow Nexgrill instructions to fine-tune the displayed temperature.
