How To Fix When Masterbuilt Smoker Control Panel Not Working?.Things To Consider Before Troubleshooting The Control Panel.There are some domains where I have expertise, but I'm definitely still at the novice level where smoking is concerned. ) I'm running it w/no water in the pan, and the vent wide open. Now (thanks to corrections from folks like SmokinAl

The upper part of the smoker was coated inside with a kind of sticky ick, so I cleaned it off down to the pan level.

I was running it w/a full pan of water, and also only opening the vent at the top a little bit, thinking I needed to keep as much of the smoke inside as possible. I actually did a big clean up on my MES 30 recently after I found out that I had been using the smoker completely incorrectly. (Ask me how I know.) -) I need to get smoking regularly so my smoker gets properly stained and I don't look like a total newbie.

:D It's like having a tool belt that looks too new, and then your neighbor makes fun of you for looking like a kid playing cowboy w/a toy holster. I soldered on high heat lugs when mine failed in eight months and they have been fine for 4.5 years with the rubber cover.Ĭlick to expand.I know, it's embarrassingly clean. Should be like this if MB wants it left outside My controller shorted on the circuit board so that the light button shut off my smoker. No conformal coating as shown in the pic below to protect from condensing humidity, dust and smoke. Now you have wire lead to get it away from the close top exhaust vent. You can see the circuit board from underneath the controller. Mark one side of each connector with a dot of whiteout or whatever for quick hook ups without booggering up those little guys. If it were me I'd mount the new controller to a piece of 2×6 and disconnect the two pin connectors and bring it in out of the humidity inbetween smokes. My back access plate to the element came with a couple stripped screw holes so I peeled the rubber off the plate and stretched the holes in the rubber over the screw heads and l lean a board against the back so I can pull open the rubber to inspect lugs periodically. Hasn't affected the functionality, but is interesting.īoth my smokers only had one bolt and nut holding the housing to the bracket like yours so that's their setup. I know assembly configurations often change, but leaving out one of the bolts made me wonder if I actually received a returned unit rather than a new one. Note the second pic below - the rear mount screw/bolt hole is empty, and the front has a nut/bolt rather than the screw depicted in the replacement instructions. In my case there were no screws, but there was a bolt and nut on the front mounting point. See first pic below from the instructions, note the two screws illustrated at the bottom left on the wood chip housing in the image. I did discover something interesting when I was disassembling the wood chip housing - there are supposed to be two screws holding it in place at the bottom left of the housing. If you have trouble syncing the remote, unplug the smoker, wait a few seconds, plug it in again, and repeat the sync process. Remote: Then press the On/Off button and it should turn the smoker on/off, and all other remote buttons should work.Remote: Press buttons: Meat Probe - Light - Meat Probe - Light (each button two times) and you will hear a confirming beep or set of beeps.Smoker: Press and hold Set Temp until you hear a beep (not the first beep when you press it, but a second beep that occurs as you hold it).
