Safety first: Firmware issues involve low voltage, but unplug the grill if removing the controller.

1. Power Cycle:
- Turn the grill OFF, unplug it for 5 minutes, then plug it back in and power ON.
2. Retry Update:
- Ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal at the grill.
- Use the Traeger app to retry the firmware update, keeping the grill powered on and connected until completion.
3. Factory Reset (if available):
- Follow your model’s instructions to perform a factory reset of the controller.
4. Replace Controller:
- If the controller remains stuck or unresponsive, replace it with a new OEM Traeger controller preloaded with the current firmware.
