How to fix Z GRILLS Grill when it is not turning on?
- H
  Harold RussellJul 27, 2025
  If your Z GRILLS Grill isn't turning on, and the controller display is blank with no fan or auger noises, first, check the power supply, ensuring it meets the standard residential 10Amp 240V AC requirement or a minimum 400Watt power supply (240V AC) if using a portable one. Next, examine the fuse at the back of the controller panel; if it's blown, don't replace it immediately. Inspect the auger motor and fan for damage. Also, ensure all wiring plugs are securely connected. If the power supply is confirmed, the fuse is intact, and the display remains off, the controller may be faulty and require replacement.

  dhowellAug 1, 2025
  If you're getting a HEr High Temperature Error on your Z GRILLS Grill, first switch the grill OFF and turn the Controller Dial to Shut Down. Immediately turn the power switch back ON, open the lid and set to Smoke. Wait until the “roaring” sound is heard, close the lid and set to the desired temperature. Also, check the temperature sensor plug located between the grill drum and hopper, and the sensor connection into the back of the controller.

Why is the temperature incorrect on my Z GRILLS Grill?
- T
  Tracy McguireAug 5, 2025
  If your Z GRILLS Grill temperature is incorrect, start by cleaning the Grill Temperature Sensor. If the temperature remains consistently off, the controller or temperature sensor might be faulty. Compare the grill probe temperature to a food probe located next to the grill temperature sensor. Also, vacuum out the frie-pot after each 5kg of pellet usage. During hot weather, position the grill in a shaded area or open the lid to lower the temperature. Avoid opening the lid too often or for too long.

How to stop smoke from coming out of pellet hopper on Z GRILLS 450A Grill?
- P
  projasAug 9, 2025
  If you see lots of smoke appearing from the pellets in the hopper of your Z GRILLS Grill (excluding tiny amounts in windy conditions), open the grill and hopper lids. Turn the controller dial to the Smoke setting with the power on. If the smoke persists after 10 minutes, remove all pellets from the hopper, vacuum if needed, and run the controller on High until all pellets clear from the auger tube. Then, turn the unit to Shut Down and clean the grill. To prevent this in the future, avoid pouring wood dust from pellet bags into the hopper, sift dusty pellets, and regularly empty the pellet feed tube. Also, vacuum out ash after each use and ensure the chimney cap has a small gap.

What to do if Z GRILLS 450A Grill shows LEr Error or no smoke?
- D
  Deanna BurkeAug 13, 2025
  If your Z GRILLS Grill displays an LEr error or produces no smoke or frie, first check if there are pellets in the hopper and watch the frie-pot to see if pellets are being delivered as the auger slowly turns. Also, ensure the Initial Startup procedure was completed to prime the auger feed tube. If these steps don't resolve the issue, moist pellets may be the cause, or too much ash may be smothering the frie.

Why is my Z GRILLS 450A Grill producing too much smoke?
- D
  Donald KingAug 18, 2025
  If your Z GRILLS Grill is producing excessive or discolored smoke, or isn't reaching the desired temperature, empty the hopper of wood pellets. Run the grill at 232oC to push out remaining pellets in the augur tube. Turn the controller dial to Shut Down. Once cooled, vacuum out the hopper and frie-pot. Pour in dry pellets and follow the Initial Startup Instructions.

Why is the auger on my Z GRILLS 450A Grill so noisy?
- R
  ricardocampbellAug 22, 2025
  Occasional clunking and squeaking sounds are normal in Z GRILLS Grill and are due to the auger breaking through longer pellets. Try using shorter pellets.
