I'm new here. Posted this message for mbtechnician but then thought others might be able to help too, So reposting here. 6 minutes ago
Need help please. I bought a used MES 30 with glass door and BlueTooth and built in probe (which I don't use). It's out of warranty (if it ever had one - somebody brushed out the SN when I went looking for it when this problem began). Worked fine at first until I had a small explosion and fire on night at the start of cooking a brisket (never figured out the cause). Since then the smoked just shuts down without any warning in the middle of a cook. I reset the temp/time and it runs for a 5-10 minutes and then shuts down again. This cycle can go on and on, or sometime it might go for an hour before stopping. Is there some easy fix? Did the fire screw up one on the temp sensors (controller sensor or overheat sensor? I'm about to give up. Really can't use it the way it is. Thanks.
