Information on the "Ignitor Error Detected" message which can appear on Timberline grills and how to resolve it.
Cause
The ignitor’s voltage does not match the voltage of the power system (i.e., a 120VAC ignitor is used on a 220VAC power system or vice versa)
This safety check only runs during grill seasoning. The most common cause of this error is the grill shipping with the wrong ignitor. Using a non-Traeger ignitor could also potentially cause this error.
