How to troubleshoot Z GRILLS ZPG-550C not working?
If your Z GRILLS Grill isn't working, start by ensuring the power cord is properly plugged in and that the electrical outlet is functional. Next, remove the digital control to check the fuse on the back, and replace it if it's blown. If the Draft Inducer Fan and Auger Driver Motor are working, the Hot Rod likely needs replacement. If not, contact customer support. Inspect wires and connectors for secure connections and any damage, seeking assistance from customer support if needed. Finally, check the auger drive motor by turning the unit on and observing the small fan motor blade on the back; if it doesn't turn, the motor requires replacement.

Try placing the unit in a shaded area and opening the lid to reduce the internal temperature. After starting your grill and letting it run for about 40 minutes, it should reach your desired temperature.
