operating -- the Hot Rod needs to be replaced. If one or both are not operating, 
contact Traeger Technical Support

 for additional troubleshooting 

help. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the Traeger Parts Department 

(Section 

Seven)

3)  If the problem is identified to be a failed Hot Rod, the Grill can still be used to cook 

and smoke by following the 

MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

 in 

Section Three

 

of this OWNER’S MANUAL. 

 

WHY ARE NO PELLETS BEING DELIVERED INTO THE FIREPOT? 

 
1)  Verify that there are Pellets in the Pellet Hopper. If this is the 

INITIAL FIRING

 or the 

Grill has run out of Pellets, allow sufficient time for the Pellets to travel from the 
Pellet Hopper to the Firepot (can take up to 7 minutes). 

2)  Initiate startup. See 

INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS

 in 

Section Two

Switch ON

d)  If the Auger Drive Motor 

is

 operating (check the small fan blade on the back of 

the motor), the problem is in the Three Speed or Digital Control, which will need to 
be replaced. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the Traeger Parts Department 

(Section 

Seven) 

to place an order. 

 
4)  If the Auger Drive Motor 

is not 

operating but the Draft Inducer Fan
