Broil King's pellet controllers do not number their problems. Instead, one warning icon lights for an extreme temperature swing, and the manual lists what can be behind it: a fire in the grill, a flame that died because the pellets ran low, an auger that stopped feeding, or an electrical problem such as an open circuit or a failed motor or fan. Broil King grill display What to do when Warning icon shows on the grill ### Kind of code Temperature and probes A probe is sending the controller a reading it cannot trust, or no reading at all: the grill's own temperature sensor coated in smoke and grease, its lead pinched or melted, or a meat probe unplugged, wet or reading far outside what any cook box could reach. The grill then overshoots, stalls or shuts down to be safe. Wiping the sensor once the grill is cold and reseating the probe in its jack are reasonable steps; a sensor that still reads wrong is a visit. ### Usually leads to Pellet grill auger and controller repair Jammed augers, dead hot rods, weak combustion fans, lying probes and failed controllers on pellet grills, traced and replaced with the maker's parts. ### 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 Broil King A Broil King appointment runs in a set order: propane or natural gas confirmed, igniter tested, then each burner lit alone and watched. ### Source Broil King Regal Pellet 500 / 400 owner's manual (models 496051, 495051) Regal Pellet 500 and 400 (models 496051, 495051) and Crown Pellet 500 and 400 (models 494051, 493051); both manuals describe the same icon. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Broil King's own guidance for Warning icon on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Go to the grill as soon as the icon lights, as Broil King asks, and unplug it at the outlet if anything looks wrong. 02 If there are flames in the grease tray or up through the grates, switch the grill off, unplug it and close the lid; never use water, and call 911 if the fire spreads. 03 If the grill is cold instead, look in the hopper: an empty or near-empty hopper points to a flame that went out for lack of fuel. 04 Once the grill is cool, book a visit if the hopper was full and nothing was burning, so the auger, fan and hot rod circuits can be tested. ### Still there? It usually turns into [pellet grill auger and controller repair](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/services/pellet-grill-auger-and-controller-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do The icon is not the check mark, which only means a meat probe has reached its target. It is also not a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth warning; those have their own icons that simply light when the grill is connected. ## What you may notice with it. The grill problems Warning icon tends to arrive with. Answer these at the grill before anyone is booked.

Go to the grill as soon as the icon lights, as Broil King asks, and unplug it at the outlet if anything looks wrong. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Does the Broil King warning icon always mean a fire? No. The manual lists a fire as one possibility next to a flame that died from low pellets, an auger that stopped and an electrical problem. Checking the grill in person is the only way to tell which. ### My Broil King warning icon came on and then the grill switched off. Why? Broil King's pellet grills shut themselves off when they stay below 180°F for 30 minutes, which is what happens after the pellets run out. A cold grill with the icon lit and an empty hopper fits that pattern. ### Can I clear the warning icon on my Broil King pellet grill? The manual gives no reset for the icon; it goes with the cause. Refuel or let the grill cool, restart it, and book a visit if it lights again with a full hopper. --- **[Read on the site: Broil King warning icon: the pellet grill temperature has run far off target](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/error-codes/broil-king-warning-icon/)** **[Book a visit with BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/schedule/)**
