    Need help with MasterBuilt electric smoker

    Spent time today going thru wires and was able to fix errorF. Panel is back to work and with overheat switch bypass heater went on. Great! Old boy will still smoke! I will order new ceramic switch from above and hope will get it to work soon. Many thanks to all who help with this thread!

    Need help with MasterBuilt electric smoker

    What I really like about this model is that it has remote. I also have cold smoke attachment for it. It looks like they do not make RF models anymore... I wonder if I can just disable main sensor and use just a meat probe as one. Do not know what PID is. Can it work with remote control?

    You are talking about "main" probe, not the meat probe, right? The 1/2 inch "thing" sticking out in the center on smoker (pic1)? I wonder how it got shortened. Do I need to cut another hole in the back to get to it? Or is there a way to get it from controls end (pic2)?

    Need help with MasterBuilt electric smoker

    I am not having any luck so far. I found switch (pic1). It looked fine , no corrosion on contacts. I connected heater, put back control panel, bypassed switch (pic2). When I put power on, it beeps. When I try to turn it on it beeps repeatedly and shows ErrF on the screen (pic3). Not sure what is...

    Yes, thanks a lot. Probably the switch. If controller and heater work, not much else out there to break. The pain is that there is no cover for switch, I will have to cut thru metal.

    The power cord connection? Yes, I took the plate out and checked it. The power goes to panel and panel works. I also just found sticky thread about 40-incher MES that talks about overheat switch. I will have to find it and check.

    Need help with MasterBuilt electric smoker

    Hi, my MB electric smoker does not heat up. It turns on, I can enter temp and time and green power light is on and red heating light is on, but no heat at all. I took heating element out and contacts on it have no traces of corrosion and if I apply 120V to them it heats up fine. What else can...
