Fan stopped working, ideas or suggestions?

[jjdbike]

Hello folks,

The fan that sucks smoke from the firebox stoped working yesterday mid-cook. The convection still works but I could keep the temp inside the box above 115.
Any ideas why that happened? Any suggestions on what to try?
Thanks in advance.

My first thought may be too obvious, but have you flipped the control box over to see if it’s super dirty?

Start by cleaning - the nuts holding the fan blades on are reverse thread. If you do not have the owner's manual it is online here: https://kbq.us/contact/#owners-manual

If that doesn't work contact Bill, there is a phone number if you don't want to use the contact form: https://kbq.us/contact/#contact

Also, if worse comes to worse a new control box is $295.00 + shipping: https://kbq.us/extras/
