Why is my Z GRILLS ZPG-6002B2 producing too much smoke or discolored smoke?
If your Z GRILLS Grill is producing excessive or discolored smoke, the pellets may be moist. Replace the moist pellets with fresh, dry pellets.
How to fix a Z GRILLS ZPG-6002B2 Grill that won't turn on?
If your Z GRILLS Grill isn't working, start by checking the power cord to ensure it's properly plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. Next, inspect the fuse on the back of the digital control and replace it if it's blown. Also, examine the wires and connectors to confirm they are securely fastened and undamaged. If the draft inducer fan and auger driver motor are both running, the hot rod may need replacement. If the small fan motor blade on the back of the auger drive motor doesn't turn on when the unit is powered on, the auger drive motor likely needs replacing.
What to do if my Z GRILLS ZPG-6002B2 Grill shows a 'HEr' (High Temperature Alarm)?
If your Z GRILLS Grill displays a 'HEr' error, ensure the temperature probe is correctly connected to the controller board. As a temperature dial security alarm measure, turn the temperature dial to the SHUT DOWN CYCLE, switch off the grill, and then turn it back on. After this, you can set the temperature dial to your desired cooking temperature.
Why is my Z GRILLS Grill displaying an incorrect temperature?
