DCS grill display · also shown as Orange bezel light What to do when Dial light orange shows on the grill ### Kind of code Flame and gas flow The control lost its flame or never found enough gas to hold one. The common reasons are plain: a propane regulator that dropped into its low-flow safety mode because the tank valve was opened with a knob on, a tank running empty, wind across an open burner, or a flame sensor coated in grease. Knobs off, the tank closed and reopened slowly, then a relight usually settles the first; if you smell gas, walk away first, and the valve, the sensor and every fitting stay with a technician. ### Usually leads to Grill valve and regulator repair Stiff, leaking or unshuttable grill valves, worn knobs, tired regulators and cracked hoses replaced, with gas orifices matched to propane or natural gas. ### Shows up as Gas Grill Won't Light: Knob On, Clicking, No Flame A gas grill won't light when the knob turns and the igniter clicks yet no flame appears, or when one burner catches and the others stay dark beside it. ### Make DCS A DCS grill head gets a full burner survey on our visit: main tubes, infrared sear section and rotisserie back burner, each one lit and timed. ### Source DCS Series 9 grill user guide (431823B) DCS Series 9 built-in grills (BE1-36 and BE1-48 models; guide 431823B).

Look at the burner under the orange dial; in strong sun, check the sear and rotisserie burners closely, since DCS warns their flames can be hard to see. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What does an orange dial light mean on a DCS grill? It means that burner is in use and gas is flowing to it. During cooking that is exactly what you want to see. ### Why is my DCS dial orange but the burner is not lit? Gas is reaching a burner that did not catch, which DCS also lists as a cause of a gas smell. Turn the dial off, leave the hood open for five minutes, then relight by holding the dial in for two seconds before turning it to SEAR. ### Can the DCS sear burner be lit when I see an orange dial but no flame? Yes, in strong sun the sear and rotisserie burners can be hard to see even when lit. Look closely for the glow of the burner surface before deciding; if there is none, turn the dial off and wait before relighting. --- **[Read on the site: DCS Series 9 grill dial glowing orange](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/error-codes/dcs-dial-light-orange/)** **[Book a visit with BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/schedule/)**
