Pit Boss PB1600M error codes and malfunctions
This page applies only to the Navigator 1600 Connected Grill PB1600M. Its display uses `ERP`, `ERH`, `ERL`, and named component malfunctions; do not assume that a similar Pit Boss controller follows the same path.
What this exact manual documents
ERPGrill-probe connection error
- Manual meaning
- The manual identifies a grill-probe wire that is not making a connection or a broken grill probe.
- Safe first move
- Let the grill cool and disconnect power before following the exact manual’s accessible probe check. Do not transfer PB260PSP2’s ErP shutdown/power-outage meaning to this model.
ERHOverheat malfunction
- 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 malfunction
- Manual meaning
- The grill fails to perform its start-up cycle.
- 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.
Auger malfunctionAuger 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.
Igniter malfunctionIgniter 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.
Fan malfunctionFan 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.
