IQ4 Controller:

stormriderMember

I recently purchased a used SM160 manufactured 4-21-10, when I looked at the unit the previous owner powered it up and showed me how to set temperature and time. I got it home Friday and decided to do some beef ribs on Saturday and I couldn’t get the temperature or time to adjust as the keypads seemed to have no response to me pushing and holding them to make the adjustments, after powering down three times I was able to adjust. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their SM160.
Thanks

I have a SM150 doing the same thing, it did it last week for the first time, I eventually got it to work. This afternoon I'm having the same issue again. Not sure what to do but replace the controller. Probably just upgrade to the IQ5, but 2k seems ridiculous for the upgrade.

The controller works fine in temperatures above 50 degrees but under that I can’t seem to program it, I sent Cookshack a email on Wednesday and hoping that it can be resolved without upgrading to the IQ5. Waiting to hear back from Cookshack.

Yea, it's annoying - I get around it by just setting a blow dryer next to the control panel for a couple minutes, then it works fine. After that of course the heat from the unit keeps it warm enough to work for the remainder of the day.
