Received a Cajun Injector Electronic Smoker from a friend. Never ever used but looks like it's been sitting around for 7+ years. Took off back and bottom panels to inspect for corrosion and broken wires....nothing - all looks A-OK. I took apart the control panel, inspected and cleaned it. Nothing obvious looked awry.
I've reached out to Masterbuilt who acquired C/I years ago. They said everything has been discontinued - no parts are available. They also said they have no compatible control panels - I think that's because my unit is a 4-pin while everything I can find online is a 5-pin.
If you have a spare 4-pin control panel, please let me know.
If you have an idea how I can bypass the control panel to test all of the components, I'd love to learn how. I'm assuming one PIN is dedicated to the heating element - seems that it'll turn on if a 5+V signal is sent. There is no light nor a probe. Two of the PINs have white wire wires - the other two pins have red wires. I think the red ones are for the temp gauge and the temp coupler. Would love to see if anyone has a way to get it working without the control panel.
