What this exact manual documents
ErPGrill-probe error
- Manual meaning
- The manual identifies a grill probe (sensor) that is not working or is faulty.
- Safe first move
- Let the grill cool and disconnect power before following the model manual’s accessible probe check. Do not transfer PB260PSP2’s ErP shutdown or power-outage meaning to this controller.
ErHOverheat error
- Manual meaning
- The manual identifies an overheated unit, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel.
- Safe first move
- Use the documented shutdown, let the grill cool, then complete maintenance and component-position checks before restarting.
ErLStart-up or flame-stability error
- Manual meaning
- The grill fails to perform its start-up cycle, will not stay lit, or has not had its auger primed.
- Safe first move
- Once cool and unplugged, check component placement, fuel, feed obstruction, grill-probe condition, igniter position, and fan behavior through the model manual before another start.
Pellet error screenFuel or feed alert
- Manual meaning
- The manual identifies lack of fuel or poor fuel quality, including a possible feed obstruction.
- Safe first move
- After cooling, check hopper level and remove damp or poor-quality pellets before treating the auger or controller as the cause.
Igniter error screenIgniter function or connection alert
- Manual meaning
- The igniter is not working properly, is not making a connection, or has failed.
- Safe first move
- Let the grill cool completely and use the manual’s check before considering a replacement. Do not order an igniter from this screen alone.
Auger error screenAuger feed or connection alert
- Manual meaning
- The auger motor is jammed or not making a connection.
- Safe first move
- Cool and unplug before touching the feed system. Confirm whether pellets are dropping into the burn pot before treating the motor as failed.
Fan error screenFan function or connection alert
- Manual meaning
- The fan is not working properly or is not making a connection.
- Safe first move
- Cool and unplug before inspection. Use the model manual’s airflow and accessible-condition check rather than treating this as a universal fan diagnosis.
