What Check mark
actually means.
When you set a target for meat probe 1 or 2, the controller watches it. Once the food gets there it beeps, lights the check mark and lowers the cookbox to hold at 225°F, so owners who see the grill temperature fall mid-cook often think something has failed.

What to do when Check mark shows on the grillKind of codeMode, not a failure
Nothing on the grill has failed; the controller is showing a state it was put in on purpose. A shutdown cycle keeps the fan running to burn off the last pellets before the grill goes quiet, a keep-warm setting holds the cook box low, a demo mode lights the display without feeding fuel, and a pairing screen waits for a phone to connect. No part is needed; the button sequence in the manual, or simply letting the cycle finish, returns it to normal.

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 Broil King's own guidance for Check mark on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the food: the check mark means it has reached the target you set.
If you want to keep cooking hotter, set a new grill temperature with the dial or arrows.
If the check mark lights before the food is done, test it with a separate thermometer; book a visit if a probe keeps reading wrong.
Cleared?
The code is gone from the controller, the grill climbs to its set heat and holds it through a full cook, the pellets keep dropping and the probe readings stay believable, all without a new part. If the same code comes back within a week, or after the next rain, mention it when you book.
What not to do
The check mark is not the warning icon and does not mean the fire went out. A drop to 225°F right after it lights is Broil King's hold setting, not a feed problem.

Still showing Check mark?
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.
