TROUBLESHOOTING and FAQ

The Grilla is very trouble-free in operation when properly maintained and quality fuel is used.  
If the Grilla fails to operate properly, use the following to troubleshoot.

Why won’t my Grilla light?

Pellets are not being delivered into the  
Fire Pot – why?

Where do I get parts for my Grilla?

1.  Unplug Grilla.

2.  Empty Hopper and clean out Auger with vacuum as 

necessary to remove any loose debris.

3.  If Auger still will not turn, see “AUGER REMOVAL” 

section on page 9 under “Grilla Maintenance 
and Care."

4.  Once Auger has been removed, clean tube and 

Auger and re-install.

5.  Plug Grilla in and turn “On”.

6.  If the Auger still won’t turn, motor may need 

replacing. Contact Grilla Grills.

1.  Check outlet and verify Control Panel is powering up.

2.  If outlet is good and LED Screen is not coming on, 

turn Grilla "Off", unplug, and check fuse on back 

of Control Panel.

3.  Remove Lower Cooking Grate (16), Grease Catch 

Can Holder (11) and Flavor Disc (29).

4.  Clean area of burned and unburned pellets.
5.  Turn Grilla “On."
6.  Verify Auger is turning and fuel is dropping into Fire 

Pot. If Auger is not turning, see “How do I remove 
the Auger if it jams?” section to the left.

7.  If Auger is turning but pellets are not coming out, 

ensure there are pellets in the Hopper. If it ran 
empty or this is the first time for use, it will be 
necessary to prime the Auger (see “GETTING 

STARTED” section page 7 for directions). This will 

ensure pellets are at the end of the tube and will 
begin dropping once unit is turned on.

8.  Igniter should begin to turn red within 1 to 2 minutes. 

If not, see IGNITER REMOVAL / INSTALLATION 
section on page 9.

1.  Verify pellets are in the Hopper.

2.  If this is the initial firing or the Grilla has run out 

of pellets, allow sufficient time for the pellets to 

travel from the Hopper to the Fire Pot (may take 
up to 5 minutes).

3.  Once pellets begin to drop, turn the Grilla “Off” 

and then back “On” to re-start Ignition Mode  

(see step 3 and 4 in “GETTING STARTED”  
section on page 6).

4.  Ensure the Auger is turning by removing the Lower 

Cooking Grate, Grease Catch Can Holder and 
Never Flare Flavor Disc and visually checking  
the Auger.

5.  If Auger is not turning, see “How do I remove the 

Auger if it jams?” section above.

Be sure to be ready with your name, phone number, 
address, Grilla model number and serial number, along 

with the part identification number from the “Parts 

Diagram” on page 11. Then contact Grilla Grills online 
or by phone.
