What READY (sear plate)
actually means.
In SEAR PLATE mode the grill runs at HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW with the briquette tray in place. When the target is reached, a READY icon appears so you know it is time to put food on the center grate.

What to do when READY (sear plate) shows on the grillKind of codeMode, not a failure
Nothing on the grill has failed; the controller is showing a state it was put in on purpose. A shutdown cycle keeps the fan running to burn off the last pellets before the grill goes quiet, a keep-warm setting holds the cook box low, a demo mode lights the display without feeding fuel, and a pairing screen waits for a phone to connect. No part is needed; the button sequence in the manual, or simply letting the cycle finish, returns it to normal.
Usually leads toNo repair
Wait for READY before you open the hood and put food on.
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.

Twin Eagles grill work starts at the control panel, where the tech tests the ignition, the lights and every knob before lifting the grates.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Twin Eagles's own guidance for READY (sear plate) on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Wait for READY before you open the hood and put food on.
Sear over the center grate, where the briquette tray sits.
If READY never appears after a long preheat, check the hopper and firepot; book a visit if the grill still cannot reach the setting.
Cleared?
The code is gone from the controller, the grill climbs to its set heat and holds it through a full cook, the pellets keep dropping and the probe readings stay believable, all without a new part. If the same code comes back within a week, or after the next rain, mention it when you book.
What not to do
READY is not an alarm and does not change the setting. Its absence after a long wait is the thing to look into.

Still showing READY (sear plate)?
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.
