Reply to "Amerique will not turn on"

Appreciate everyone's responses.  My Amerique has been rock solid up until now.  Early on I had an issue with it tripping the GFCI outlet ... and I had electrician put in a dedicated outlet and it worked flawless.  The move should not have been hard as I had it wrapped (nothing else damaged) and I packed the control unit separately.  Every appliance i can carry outside and plug in the same outlet works (outdoor lights, vacuum cleaner, music, etc).  But the Amerique is totally dead.  When I had my earlier issues with outlet, it would at least light up, click a few times before tripping the GFCI.  I called customer support (always helpful) and they suggested I remove the back panel and ensure all wires are attached.  CS said if all wires are attached (which is the case), I will need to attach a volt meter.  I don't mind purchasing a volt meter and having them walk me through what/how to test ... but I suspect I will quickly get to point that exceeds by electrical knowledge (which is none) and i already plugged in variety of things into the same outlet and all work.

I think my next step is to have an electrician come out who can be on the phone with customer support while testing so I'm not in the middle of this.  It's unfortunate as I retired my Green Egg before the move and now the Amerique is dead at moment.  I do have a Yoder Wichita side smoker ... it's more work on long smokes but nothing can take it down.  Thanks again for the responses - great community forum and I will figure out how the get the Amerique back in action.
