What to Do

Step 1: Check the Power Source

  1. Make sure the grill is plugged into a working outlet.
  2. Test the outlet with a high-power appliance (like a blow dryer or toaster).
    Avoid phone chargers—they don’t draw enough power.
  3. If the outlet doesn’t work, check your home wiring, circuit breaker, or GFCI outlet.
  4. If the outlet works, move to Step 2.

Step 2: Test the Power Button

  1. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
  2. If the grill powers on but shuts off when you release the button, continue to Step 3.

Step 3: Look for Moisture or Debris

  1. Check the button area for moisture or dirt.
  2. Wipe gently with a dry cloth.

Pro Tip: Use a grill cover and store your grill in a dry place during heavy rain or snow.


Step 4: Power Cycle & Re-Test

  1. After cleaning, power cycle the grill.
  2. Press and release the power button:
    • If the grill stays on, you’re good to go!
    • If it shuts off again, the power button likely needs replacing. Contact Customer Service for assistance.

Extra Tip: If your grill was exposed to snow followed by rain, remove the power button and let it dry in a warm area before reinstalling. This may fix the issue temporarily.
