These errors relate to pellet feed and temperature monitoring. Here’s what they mean and how to fix them:
E7 – Auger Motor Failure
Meaning: The auger motor is not turning, preventing pellets from feeding into the burn pot.
Steps to Fix E7
- Turn off and unplug the grill.
- Open the maintenance panel and check auger motor wiring connections.
- Inspect for auger jams (see E1 troubleshooting if jammed).
- If wiring is secure and auger moves freely, the motor may need replacement.
E8 – Temperature Sensor Error
Meaning: The thermocouple or RTD probe is not reading correctly.
Steps to Fix E8
- Turn off and unplug the grill.
- Locate the temperature probe inside the cookbox and clean it gently.
- Check the sensor wiring connection on the controller board.
- If error persists, replace the sensor with a Weber-approved part.
Prevention Tips
- Keep the auger and hopper clean to prevent jams.
- Clean the temperature probe regularly for accurate readings.
