During a cook the Coyote controller watches for the grill temperature to drop by 50°F. When it does, the alarm comes up, and unless the continue button is pressed the grill goes into shutdown. Coyote's own list of causes is a pellet jam, a burner pot that is out of position, and the timeout set for the alarm in the menu. Coyote grill display · also shown as Low temperature alarm What to do when Low Temp Alarm shows on the grill ### Kind of code Pellet feed and auger Pellets stopped reaching the firepot. Sometimes the hopper simply ran low and a pellet bridge formed over the auger; more often damp pellets swelled into a hard plug inside the auger tube, or the auger motor strains and stalls against it. Emptying the hopper of soft or crumbled pellets and refilling with dry ones is a fair first step; clearing a packed auger tube, a sheared pin or a motor that hums without turning 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 Coyote On a Coyote call, the tech clears the firebox of grease and debris before judging a weak burner, since a clogged tray can mimic a gas problem. ### Source Coyote Outdoor Living Pellet Grill use and care manual (C2P28, C2P36) The C2P manual gives the shutdown after 22 minutes in its settings section but a default timeout of five minutes in its troubleshooting table, so check the value in your grill's settings menu. On the older C1P grills the same drop brings up a temperature warning screen with the same 22-minute window. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Coyote's own guidance for Low Temp Alarm on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Look in the hopper first and top it up with dry pellets if it is running low. 02 If the fire is still burning, press continue and watch whether the temperature climbs back. 03 If the grill shuts down, let it cool completely, unplug it and follow the manual's jam steps under the hopper grate and auger cover; book a visit if the alarm returns with a clear auger and a correctly placed pot. ### 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 This alarm reports a fire that has faded, not a failed sensor, and it is the opposite of the Overheat Alarm. A grill that keeps its fan running after you pressed stop is in its normal cooldown, not shutting down on this alarm. ## What you may notice with it.

Look in the hopper first and top it up with dry pellets if it is running low. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Coyote pellet grill shut off in the middle of a cook? The low temperature alarm has run out without an answer. Coyote points to three causes: the alarm timeout set in the menu, a burner pot out of position, and a pellet jam. ### Can I make the Coyote Low Temp Alarm less sensitive? The settings menu lets you adjust it, but a longer timeout only hides the cause. If the fire keeps fading, pellets are not reaching the burner pot and that is what needs fixing. ### How do I clear a pellet jam on a Coyote? With the grill off and unplugged, remove the hopper grate and the auger cover with a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the jammed pellets, vacuum the auger and chute, and refit both covers. If jams keep returning, book a visit to have the auger checked. --- **[Read on the site: Coyote Low Temp Alarm: the pellet grill is losing heat and will shut down](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/error-codes/coyote-low-temp-alarm/)** **[Book a visit with BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/schedule/)**
