Thanks . Pit Boss is great while it’s working ! Their repair /troubleshooting guide is not up to the same speed that their purchase price is 😢. Without You Tube I’d say it would be difficult to get one back on line .
I went out to use my grill the day after a storm and the controller was completely dead, not responding. Found this fuse was burnt up so i replaced the fuse and the board comes on now and feeds pellets with the auger. Hot rod won't heat up now. This hot rod was juat replaced less than 5 cooks ago. Can't imagine its bad already...
Make sure the connection to the hot rod is tight but it sounds like you might need a new controller. They're pretty fragile(I'm on my 4th one) and often some parts will work still. They're like 25 bucks on eBay, 40 on Amazon. If you can wait, pitboss customer service would probably send you one for free.
@@augietx867 Yea I'm at that point now where I'm thinking, do I replace more parts, or do I just invest in a new grill instead? This thing has a new fire box and ignitor already. Honestly the auger motor has somehow held on for dear life with the little piece of aluminum that holds it in place when I have had it in some dire situations with jammed pellets many times. Has held up through a lot. But that scares me now because of the age. Had it for about 8 years now, and hate to let it go. There have been a lot of improvements in technology since then also. Not all improvements are a good thing though. My old 700FB has had far less issues than a lot of folks with the newer Austin XLs and such have had, so it has done me very well. Weirdly they are still more expensive than most newer Pit Boss units too, if you can find them online. Maybe they are just better old machines.
First check your hot rod in the fire pot. It should be sticking out a little bit but sometimes it gets pushed back. If it's still sticking out, you might need a new hot rod. Super cheap on Amazon or pit boss will probably send you one.
@@Goldblooded80 it usually means your ignitor is bad and needs to be replaced. Either that or you have a short somewhere. I would start by unplugging the ignitor and seeing if your fuse still blows.
Need to work on words and if your gonna show a video about replacing a fuse you might actually want to replace the fuse in the video not just show where it’s located
Great video on how to locate and replace the fuse, thank you !

What if I have power but the infighter won’t heat up. Any idea?

I WILL tell the world of your Great Deeds Friend I WILL!!
Where do you find the replacement board
Pit Boss customer service is great. I sent them an email and they sent me the board for free! You can also get them pretty cheap on eBay.
What if the fuse keeps blowing out any suggestions

@@augietx867 thanks I’m going to try that tomorrow I keep plugging it and as soon as I do that my fuse gets blown out.

You didn't show nothing just where it was. you didn't show how to replace it. good video not.
