  If your Kamado Joe Grill displays 'Err 3', it means the grill has overheated, and the pit probe reached a temperature greater than 800F. The fan will run at 50%, and the auger will remain off until the set temperature is reached. Turn off your grill by turning the control dial to the OFF position. Check for potential causes of overheat, such as a grease fire or too many pellets in the crucible, and then restart the grill.

  If your Kamado Joe Grill displays 'Err 7', it indicates that the auger has sensed a pellet jam. The grill will attempt to unjam twice, then enter a shutdown sequence. If this happens, let the grill cool completely. Try removing the jam by removing all pellets from the pellet hopper, then turn the grill off and back on with the hopper door closed. If you still cannot remove the jam, you must disassemble the grill to manually remove and clean the auger.

  If your Kamado Joe Grill displays 'Err 6', it means the hopper door is open. The auger motor and pellet agitators will not operate while the hopper door is open. To fix this, shut the hopper door. If the problem persists, check the connection for the hopper door or replace the hopper door switch.
