MES smoker problem

[blakelaws90]

Hey I have a 130b master built the element will heat for about 30 min and then stop heating the control panel shows that the element is still heating but it isn’t. Would it be a element or a control panel also the temp seems to be accurate as far as control board

If you have a voltage tester check to see if you are really loosing the voltage when it stops heating. That will be the first step. Check at the heater terminals

Thanks a lot idk why I didn’t think of that! I’m just rushing to get my smoker running lol

Could be the thermal safety switch on the back wall failed and opens too low of a temp, cutting electricity to the element since the heating light is on.

That would be my next guess after ruling out the element.
