Masterbuilt smoker trouble

[dbjeff]

Came across this forum when troubleshooting on my masterbuilt smoker that is only a year old. Started it up for a test run before thanksgiving and the breaker kept kicking off. I took the circuit board cover off to discover some melted plastic and burnt wires. Having trouble finding the correct replacement for the model 20070924. Any help appreciated!

Maybe tallbm can help. He knows a bit about those smokers.

This would be an ideal time to convert over to a PID controller. Makes the MES a much better smoker.

Nothing more than a fairly simple rewire.

Any help appreciated!

Looks like it was left out in the rain .
I'm with normanaj , time to bypass all that sin and do a Auber controller .
The rest of it looks beyond repair to me , I wouldn't try replacing factory parts .

Both my electric smokers are controlled by PID, even though the original controls can still work. If I were in your shoes, there is no way I would spend any money on replacing the less than optimal original control system when that money is far better spent upgrading to a PID controller.
