This helped me solved my fan error super quick! Great video for the 980! My issue was a tiny piece of lump coal stuck in the fan. Yep, me too!

Thank you so much, I had charcoal in the fan, blocking the blades. Problem fixed!

Ahh yep, I've had that 🤣 Thanks for watching!!

Awesome video, went to fire up far a late year brisket and got the fan error. step by step walk through and found the issue. You Sir Rock!

After putting the smoker together I got the “open” code, found a loose wire and it was fine. My first cook went great thanks to your video, Thank you for making it!

@johnperry5452 2 года назад

I got an open code for the first time after quite a few cooks. Wiggled a few wires around and it's working again. I am getting a little smoke coming out of the back of the hopper and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.

@DrFrankenschtein 2 года назад

Thank you for making this video dude! I woke up 7 hours into a brisket cook to find the ERF code. Pit was holding temp remarkably well (I was monitoring it separately), but, I didn't know what that ERF code meant. Unplugged it, plugged it back in and dialed up 10 degrees to see if the fan would kick on. Worked like a charm buddy! Thanks!

@jamesgibson3242 Год назад

Thanks for the help. Darn, I got the ERF Code. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

@gerhardonderdonck6179 3 года назад

Thank you sir much help I had a erf code .I had a prong on fan not seated correctly.

@davidruiz4139 2 года назад

Many thanks, saw that it was a fan error that you identified. There was a tiny piece of charcoal preventing the fan from spinning. A little bit of work to get it out but all good now.

@RobsBackyardBBQ 2 года назад

Yeah, I get that every now and then - i've learned to keep a small flathead nearby to get em out lol

@timwashington824 14 дней назад

Is there a recall on this grill

@BigRedtheGinger 8 месяцев назад

I gotta look into those fan code solutions. My fan doesn't always kick back on once the temperature drops. I have found that if I open the hopper lid and close it, the fan will work again. Maybe loose wiring or bad connection? It doesn't happen all the time.

@ronfowler9027 2 года назад

Thanks for the video there was a small object blocking the fan so it wouldn't spin The Fan that fixed the problem and I had four racks of ribs ready to go. And by the way your backyard is freaking awesome

@matthewl.5059 3 года назад

I got the ERF last night and I called the support line. they told me to check the fan to see if it was stuck, and if it was fine to take a picture and send it in, once I took the photo, I could see chunks of charcoal in it and when I cleaned it out it was fine. I was surprised on how small the chunks were that stopped the fan. from now on Im going to take photos' of the fan first so I can see what is going on.

@stevegrillot 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, had the erf and found a hot coal made it to the fan and deformed it , quick trim and back in business

@RobsBackyardBBQ 2 года назад

Ah, that sucks - glad you got going again though! Make sure to contact Char-Griller and let them know.. I'm sure they'll ship out another fan for you.

@frankparsons5102 2 года назад

I am getting the ERP error, brand new assembled, I have plugged in the probe, checked all of my connections. Have good power and still get the error.

@user-ii9iy5se4u 11 месяцев назад

I use this grill constantly, and am plagued by problems. Currently the ERF code is displayed and is not allowing the unit to operate. Last time it was the safety switch on the top of grill................DEFINATELY NOT WORTH THE PURCHASE PRICE!!!!!

@ImHungryMK 3 года назад

Rob , I can't find the video, buy you have a chimney starter with a trap door, who makes it?

@RobsBackyardBBQ 3 года назад

Hey man, that's the char-griller brand chimney. They sell it at tractor supply, maybe lowes? Or, straight from their site.

@timwashington824 14 дней назад

My ERF signal came on. As I was getting ready to grill and the fan keeps coming on and going off. When I unplug it and then plug it back in then it keeps going back to the ERF code. But it does come on for a second and then I go and check the target temperature and move it up to where I wanted to be, but it doesn't move. Which day is it 200 and I don't know if that might be causing it or is it the actual fan the problem? Please tell me this thing was insulated correctly for the mountain.Heed it's gonna endure

@RobsBackyardBBQ 14 дней назад

Hey man - make sure there's nothing in the fan box. When that would come on for me, there was a little chunk of charcoal in there that i was able to get out from underneath it with a flathead screwdriver.. through the vent holes.

@msrobertson2788 3 года назад

Do you just take the internal probe for the read out on the grill?

@RobsBackyardBBQ 3 года назад

Hey there - yep, the ambient probe tells the computer what the temp is and whether or not to kick the fan on for more heat.

@tomcooke6670 2 года назад

Rob I am looking to for the 980 2nd meat probe. Is it the first probe on your Amazon page for 9 bucks. It's description doesn't indicate for 980

@RobsBackyardBBQ 2 года назад

Hey there - yes the only probe on there. It's what CG told me to get and it's the one I'm using.

@tomcooke6670 2 года назад

I think a code of open could eventually result in an erh code. If the fan has not been running for sometime but the fire is generating heat the the code should change from open to erh

@robkkorea36 3 года назад

I have had the erf code and my first step is to unplug and restart, if that doesn’t work I check the fan by seeing if it will spin. Each time there was a little piece of something in the fan and it spun out with manual spinning.

@RobsBackyardBBQ 3 года назад

Yeah.. someone might want to make an aftermarket cage that keeps stuff out of there.

@julianzavala2419 2 года назад

Can I use the grill with out power source .

@RobsBackyardBBQ 2 года назад

Sorry, no - it depends on the fan kicking on and off with this grill.

@sammythebull2240 2 года назад

I've been a subscriber of yours since I got my 980 and I love. But today's cook, my included meat probe is reading 230 degrees higher than actual temp. I did the basics- unplug turn of etcetera, any advice? Calling CB tomorrow. Thanks

Every time I insert a meat probe it reads like 350+ degrees not even in the grill or anything. Ever ran into this issue?

@RobsBackyardBBQ 2 года назад

Hey there - I haven't seen that at all. Does it report 350 in both of the ports? I'm sure you're plugging it in all the way?

@srki80 2 года назад

Both of my meat probes read around 330 degrees, no matter what. Even if I put it in the ice bath. It just suddenly stopped working properly. Any tips?

I keep getting erF when I put small chunks in the ash bin. I've attempted 3 times. Yesterday, I was able to run it with same size chunks mixed in the hopper no issue. Anyone else get it anytime there is wood in ash bin?

@RobsBackyardBBQ 3 года назад

I can't remember the situation when I last had ErF, but I'm sure I had chunks in the pan. Unplugging and replugging in fixed it though. Just make sure you are keeping chunks to the left/barrel side so you aren't melting that flap.

@danielfrain3521 3 года назад

I had that code. And I unplugged and hooked back up like he said and it worked. I checked the ash pan area and the firestarter fell through and I bet that fan flared up the flame and it caused mine to shut off. So I'm wondering if your wood is lighting up.

Great grill with terrible electronics. This is getting annoying after a new controller and harness. This could be a perfect grill if they made better components and we paid $50 more for reliability. Charcoal only. No obstructions. Just an underpowered controller and power supply.

@aronc4597 2 года назад

This grill is plagued by eRf codes. Don't waste your money. It's a poor design that allows ash/ heat to melt fan during cooks. Skip this grill, as an owner of a 980, it's not worth the money.
