Thank you for your help today Ryan! You know your smokers! I replaced my controller the other day, and hooked up a couple of connectors wrong... Ryan talked me through the wiring, and as soon as i told him the wires that were connected wrong, he zeroed right on it! I ran it through the temps, and it ran like new! Ryan called me a bit later to see how it went. The next time I want or need something for my cooking, im going to Smokin Brothers! Thank you again!
Great video. Got a free traeger from buddy. He said it was broken. Not the case! Auger was clogged cleaned. Plugged it in auger didn't spin. Watched this video. Unplugged the 3 wires from the controller, boom! Auger spinning! Thank you!
So, my hotrod is not working but I am getting no error message at all. The ignitor light is still on as well as the auger light. Auger fills the pot with pellets theres just no heat in the rod. Could it be just a fuse?
Auger spins but if I put even a small amount of pellets (or even touch the auger slightly with my finger )it stops spinning but I can hear the motor still running......any input?
Hello, I have changed the auger motor and and fan for my z grill 700, but I have a problem: the auger motor always running and the tempreture gets too high, I can't control the tempreture. why is that? also the fan always running at the smae speed!!! Thank you
I set my temp at 225 When it reaches 225. Auger stops feeding pellets. Temperature start dropping. And auger never restarts. I literally have to turn it off to restart the auger.
My Pitt boss has runaway heat. No matter the set point once it’s on it goes to 500 plus. Otherwise it runs great. Is this possibly something other than a bad controller? Thanks
more than likely it's the grill probe. mine did the same thing after a couple months of use I just called them up and they sent me a replacement one. you'll have to put it in yourself.
I am thinking about buying a used Pitt boss 850. The owner says that it won't maintain temperature. I was thinking it could be either the thermostat or the temp problem in the grill. It's in pretty good shape and I can get it for $75 bucks. Also possible control board? Any help where to start would be great. Thank you! Just subbed
I have a z grill model and just replaced the rtd sensor an having a issue with the temp is running higher than the setting for instance I have temp control on 180 the temp runs up to 250 what could be the issue ?
Are you plugged into a GFCI outlet? If not, you should be. If the GFCI trips and keeps tripping after you reset it, you'll need to troubleshoot what's causing it to do that. Usually, it's a bad hot rod (igniter). You can prove that by disconnecting the molex connector between the hot rod and the controller. If the controller comes on without tripping the GFCI when you plug in the cooker, then you know it's a bad hot rod. Some people will plug into a non GFCI outlet if they have a problem with the GFCI constantly tripping, but It's dangerous to do that. The GFCI is a safety feature to prevent electrocution when there is a short to ground. Sometimes GFCIs can go bad. If you haven't replaced yours recently, it might be worthwhile calling your friendly electrician.
I like how there is no repair video nowhere or schematics for the control panel. I'll be damned if I spend $100 for a new control panel when it is a fricken $1.20 capacitor or voltage regulator on the main board.
Sounds like an expensive peice of junk. Mine smokes like burning neighborhood down. Even had fire dept roll through looking for the fire. Treager #scam 🤢🤢
