Reasons why a Traeger doesn’t light:
1. The hot rod may not heat up. A wood pellet grill hot rod either works or doesn’t.
How to check the Traeger hot rod:
a. Remove the grill grate, drip tray, and heat baffle.
b. Set the temperature controller to Smoke, then hold a hand over the fire pot to check for heat.
c. If there is no heat coming from the firepot, there could be wire damage or the connecting wire to the temperature controller isn’t engaged. Call 1-800-TRAEGER to replace the hot rod under warranty or order a replacement hot rod online at www.traegergrills.com
2. The draft induction fan is not spinning. If you haven’t used your wood-fired grill in a while it may have dirt or dust build-up on the induction fan. The Traeger induction fan stokes the fire and generates the circulating convection heat.
How to check the Traeger draft induction fan:
a. Find the induction fan beneath the hopper, it’s white and spins horizontally with an orange wire coming out of it.
b. If wires are block the fan from spinning, grab zip ties to organize the wires.
c. If the induction fan is not spinning, give it a spin to see if it will begin working.
3. The auger is not feeding pellets into the firepot. The auger fuels the fire so it is a vital piece to grilling.
How to check the Traeger auger:
a. Empty hopper, find the auger in the bottom, it looks like a corkscrew.
b. If you have a pellet jam in the auger, the hardwood pellets may have gotten wet. When pellets get wet, they expand and clog the auger.
c. Check the auger motor fan beneath the hopper, it’s the smaller fan that spins vertically. If it is not spinning, it must be replaced. Call 1-800-TRAEGER to replace it under warranty or order a replacement auger online at www.traegergrills.com
