Hozer, received my AQ thur afternoon. set up to season and started. after 35 min, same thing as you happened. I checked the breaker, the outlet and all were fine. unscrewed the controler off and as soon as I moved the controler it started its startup clicking. seems the yellow plug did not stay in good contact when i was moving AQ. Pushed firmly in and has worked fine thru seasoning and smoking a ham for christmas dinner. maybe yours is the same problem.
