I bought a used FEC100. Only about 2 years old. IQ4. It worked once. I turned it on this morning and set it at 260. Ran for about 1/2 hour and now nothing. No temp, no lights nothing. I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Temp never got over 150 but pellets were burning. Any ideas? I doubt if there is anyway to get this thing serviced in Des Moines, Ia.

thanks

Welcome to the forum Andy.

Sorry to hear about the issue you're having. A few things you can check:
G.F.I. reset...did it trip?
Make sure the stainless steel button on the back left side of your pellet hopper is fully depressed when the lid is down and latched.
There's a reset button in your IQ4 controller. It may need to be reset. More info and a picture showing the location of the button may be found HERE
Scroll down the page a bit.

Good luck and let us know if those remedies don't get you back and running.
So, you got a fire?

If yes, were pellets feeding?

Were the fans running?

Did you test it before you bought it and was it running at temp then?

The first culprit to me would be the ignitor is bad. You don't have to have an ignitor. I've manually started them before with one of the stick starters, starter gel or even a hand blow torch. Get a good fire going in the pot then turn it on. Maybe a good hanful.

Watch the items above to see if they're working (augar and fans)
