# Grill signal Flare-ups

### What the appliance is actually reporting

Grease is reaching flame, and where it is sitting is the whole question. A grill is built to carry drippings away from the fire — radiant trays spread the heat and shed what falls on them, a tray beneath collects it, a channel takes it to somewhere it can be emptied. When any part of that path is loaded, missing or refitted the wrong way round, rendered fat arrives on the burner instead. We see this most on grills that are immaculate on the grates and untouched underneath, and in this market it is the commonest cause of a grill fire.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

no code is displayed — this is a safety signal. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 4 of the appliance types this site publishes — bbq grill, cooktop, oven and range — and publishes none at all for bbq grill, beverage center, outdoor kitchen appliance, range and range hood. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- Stop cooking and turn the burners off if flames are persistent rather than occasional. This is a fire, not a technique.
- With everything cold, take out the grates, the radiants and the tray and look at all of them. Fat that has nowhere to go is usually visible immediately.
- Check that the radiants go back the way they came out. Fitted the wrong way round they defeat the whole design.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 526-4714](tel:+13055264714) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
