Fire Magic grill display · also shown as --- What to do when - - - (OVEN window, cold weather) 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 Fire Magic Fire Magic owners usually describe a burner that lights late or not at all; our visit starts by timing that delay at each knob. ### Source Fire Magic Echelon Diamond built-in gas grill installation and owner's manual (E660i, E790i, E1060i), C2-706 Echelon Diamond gas grills with the touch-panel digital thermometer (E660i, E790i, E1060i and their portable s versions).

- - (OVEN window, cold weather). ### Can I clear - - - (OVEN window, cold weather) myself? Light the grill as usual and close the hood to preheat. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Fire Magic show dashes on a winter morning? The digital thermometer does not read at or below freezing. As soon as the grill warms above 32 degrees F, the number appears. ### Should I light a Fire Magic that shows dashes in the cold? Yes. The dashes are only the thermometer; the burners light and heat as usual, and the reading comes back as the grill warms. ### How long until the Fire Magic reading appears in the cold? It depends on the weather, but a closed hood and a few minutes on high are usually enough to pass freezing inside the grill. --- **[Read on the site: Fire Magic dashes in the OVEN window: too cold to read yet](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/error-codes/fire-magic-oven-dashes-cold/)** **[Book a visit with BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/schedule/)**
