I have a unit that is almost 3 years old. Early CS model. The only problem I have ever had was it came wired wrong from the factory and Eddy helped me re-wire it.
Yesterday I was cooking chicken. Started on Smoke and it ran fine. After an hour, I moved it to 325 and noticed the temp was climbing slower than usual. After 20 minutes on 325*, it was still only at *240. I moved it to *350 and the temp started climbing as it should. Once it reached *275 it shut off. I could not get it to run more than 2-4 minutes at a time after that. It was blowing my GFI outlet.
Checked the outlet and it seems to be working fine.
Any thoughts on what could be shorting out on the FE?
