What No LED on the probe charger
actually means.

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.

What to do when No LED on the probe charger shows on the grill

Kind of codePower

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.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Alfresco's own guidance for No LED on the probe charger on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the drawer and make sure the grill is plugged in and the GFCI has not tripped.

02

Give the box 15 to 20 minutes with the drawer shut, then open it and look for the red or green light.

03

If it stays dark with power confirmed, book a visit to check the charger box and its supply.

What not to do

A dark charger does not by itself mean the probe is damaged. It is also separate from the main display, which can be working normally while the charger box is flat.

Questions
about No LED on the probe charger.

Can I clear No LED on the probe charger myself?
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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing No LED on the probe charger?

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied exactly, the model and serial from the rating label, and a word on whether the grill still lights, heats or feeds pellets. With those three the office can match the likely part to your grill the same day.
