How to fix Louisiana Grills Grill control that will not turn on?
- V
  veronica05Aug 18, 2025
  If your Louisiana Grills Grill control won't turn on, ensure all wire connections are firmly connected and that the grill is plugged into a working GFCI outlet. Also, the circuit board may have tripped, requiring a manual fuse replacement (5 amp N.A. or 8 amp). Finally, the GFI outlet itself may have tripped; ensure wire connections are dry and that the GFCI is a minimum 10 amp service.

What to do if Louisiana Grills Grill shows "ER-2" Error Message?
- K
  Kendra Jennings MDAug 20, 2025
  If you are getting an ER-2 error message on your Louisiana Grills Grill, it means the grill failed to reach 65°C / 150°F within 20 minutes. Check the hopper for enough fuel, and inspect for auger jams or movement issues. Also, examine the burn grate positioning and check for ash build-up or obstructions in the burn grate and pot. Ensure the igniter is heating up correctly and is properly positioned, and confirm the fan's operation and speed. In very cold conditions, a second start may be needed. Check the actual temperature readout of the grill probe for accuracy and clean it if necessary. The grill may not stay lit or above 65°C / 150°F for the same reasons.

Why Louisiana Grills Grill will not achieve or maintain stable temperature?
- J
  Jessica VillaAug 23, 2025
  If your Louisiana Grills Grill won't achieve or maintain a stable temperature, start by checking the burn grate for ash build-up, obstructions, and proper seating on the burn pot, ensuring no air leakage. Verify the fan is working correctly, connected, with an unblocked air intake, and no hopper blockages; clean fan blades or move wires if needed. Check the hopper for sufficient fuel, and inspect the fuel for size, dampness, and sawdust. Press and hold the Prime button to ensure the auger is working freely, and check and clean the temperature probe. Also, ensure the control is set on the grill probe display.

  If your Louisiana Grills Grill is producing excess or discolored (black) smoke, check and clean the interior grilling area, especially after cooking greasy foods, to eliminate excess grease build-up. Also, inspect the wood pellets for moisture and replace them with fresh, dry pellets if needed. Finally, check the burn grate for fuel build-up.

  If your Louisiana Grills Grill is experiencing frequent flare-ups, ensure the cooking temperature is under 176°C / 350°F when cooking greasy foods. Check and clean the interior grilling area to remove grease or leftovers. Confirm that the flame broiler is completely CLOSED.

What does "ER-1" Error Message mean on Louisiana Grills Grill?
- C
  Cindy WardAug 31, 2025
  If you see an "ER-1" error message on your Louisiana Grills Grill, it indicates the grill has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. Turn off the grill and let it cool down. Clean the grill interior, remove excess pellets, and ensure all component parts are correctly positioned. It may also indicate that the grill probe wire is not making a connection. Ensure the grill probe wire is correctly connected to the control, confirm wire connections, and check for any damage.

What to do if the igniter will not light fire on Louisiana Grills Grill?
- D
  Deborah FloresSep 2, 2025
  If the igniter on your Louisiana Grills Grill will not light the fire, check the burn grate for proper seating and any ash build-up or obstructions. Also, check to confirm the igniter is not getting hot; do not touch the igniter or housing to avoid burns. Verify the placement of the igniter hot rod relative to the burn grate. Remove the front inspection plate and ensure the wire connections are tight.

Why “Actual temp” does not move on Louisiana Grills Grill?
- M
  Michael MillerSep 5, 2025
  If the "Actual temp" on your Louisiana Grills Grill does not change, clean the internal grill probe with a soft cloth or mild abrasive sponge, along with hot water and soap. If the probe wire is wet, use a hair dryer to dry it. If these steps don't work, the grill probe may be compromised and need replacement.

Why is my Louisiana Grills Grill temperature readout wrong?
- K
  Kimberly AndersonSep 9, 2025
  If your Louisiana Grills Grill is displaying the wrong temperature measurement, the temperature setting switch is not set correctly. Unplug the grill, remove the access end of the hopper, and then remove the control board. Switch the temperature slide, located on the rear of the board, to your desired temperature readout.
