The charger box only charges while the drawer is closed and the grill is plugged in, and it holds just enough to show its lights for a few minutes when you open the drawer. A long cleaning session or a grill left unplugged can run it down so no light appears. Alfresco grill display What to do when No LED on the probe charger shows on the grill ### Kind of code Power The grill is not getting clean power: a GFCI outlet on the patio that tripped in rain, an extension cord too long or too thin, a transformer for the lights or the rotisserie that failed, or a power supply inside a pellet grill that sags when the hot rod draws. Resetting the GFCI once with the outlet dry, and plugging straight into it, clears many. A trip that repeats, or a burning smell, means the grill stays unplugged until a technician has looked. ### Usually leads to Grill lights and electronics repair Hood lights, knob lights, transformers, power supplies and digital displays on a grill that have gone dark, flicker or trip the outlet, found and fixed. ### Shows up as Grill Error Code on a Pellet Controller or Digital Panel A grill error code shows as letters and numbers on a pellet grill controller, a flashing light on a digital control panel, or an alert in the maker's app paired with the grill. ### Make Alfresco Alfresco grill calls open with the lid up and the grates lifted out, so the tech can see every burner port before a knob turns. ### Source Alfresco AIPG Intelligent Professional Grill care and use manual (195-0140, 05-2026) Alfresco Intelligent Professional Grill: AIPG-36 and AIPG-42 built-in heads and the AIPG-36C cart version.

Close the drawer and make sure the grill is plugged in and the GFCI has not tripped. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is my Alfresco AIPG probe charger dark after cleaning the drawer? The box charges only with the drawer shut, and a long spell open drains the little charge it keeps for its lights. Close the drawer and wait. ### Does the Alfresco AIPG charge the probe when the grill is off? It needs the grill plugged in to power. The burners do not have to be on, but the power line does. ### Can a tripped GFCI leave the AIPG charger dark? Yes. With the GFCI off the charger, lights and display all lose power, so check the outlet before anything else. --- **[Read on the site: Alfresco AIPG probe charger dark: the charger box has run down](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/error-codes/alfresco-probe-charger-no-led/)** **[Book a visit with BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/schedule/)**
