How to fix a Char-Broil 14202004 smoker that is not heating?
- Ssamuel42Aug 4, 2025
If your Char-Broil Grill smoker isn't heating, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the smoker is turned on. Check your household circuit breakers or GFI for any trips, and reset or replace if needed. Avoid using other electrical appliances on the same circuit. Keep all electrical connections dry and do not operate the unit in the rain. Also, make sure the smoker door is closed during cooking, preheat for 15-20 minutes, and increase the controller setting if the temperature is too low. If the cord is inappropriate, replace it with a 15 amps rated cord. Finally, if the controller or heating element is faulty or the cord/electrical connections are damaged, consider replacing them.
