What OH
actually means.
The touch-panel thermometer has its own circuit board behind the control panel. Fire Magic names two ways it gets too hot: wind blowing into the back of the lid and pushing heat forward, or a grease fire in the firebox. The board stops reading until it cools.

What to do when OH shows on the grillKind of codeController and display
The controller itself reported trouble, or stopped answering: a display that flickers or shows segments missing, buttons that no longer respond after rain got behind the panel, a board whose relays stick, or an app that will not keep its connection. A full power cycle, done as the manual describes with the grill cold, clears a passing glitch; a code that returns, or any sign of water behind the display, means a board or a keypad, and that is a visit.

Hood lights, knob lights, transformers, power supplies and digital displays on a grill that have gone dark, flicker or trip the outlet, found and fixed.
Shows up asGrill 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.

Fire Magic owners usually describe a burner that lights late or not at all; our visit starts by timing that delay at each knob.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fire Magic's own guidance for OH on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
If there are flames in the grease tray or under the hood, treat it as a grease fire: gas off at the tank or shutoff, knobs off, lid closed if you can do it safely, never water, and 911 if it spreads.
With no fire, turn the burners off, open the hood and let the grill cool before switching the thermometer back on.
If OH returns on a calm day with a clean firebox, book a visit so the board and the panel area can be checked for heat damage.

What not to do
OH is not a reading of the cooking temperature, even though it shows in the oven window. It also does not mean the burners have been shut off, because the thermometer does not control them.

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.
