Mysterious Shut Off on DBS

[Consiglieri]

Twice now in the last hour the smoke generator on my digital shut off without warning.  No where near the shut off time limit.   Pops right back on when I push the button.

Anyone else had this problem?   Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thanks in advance.

Nope, thats a new one for me.

Moved the ribs over to the oven (it was time anyway), and then opened up the smoke generator.  There was quite an accumulation of sawdust from the pucks, mixed up with spiderweb.  I cleaned all that stuff out.  Seems to be working okay now, but time will tell.

Think I'll have to open a beer and watch the digital display for a while to see.

Hi Consiglieri

If it does it again check the 2 brown wires that come out of the back of the fuse housing make sure they have a tight connection.

Thanks, Brian.

So, does it only work with that option or can it work when i take it right off of my machine?

Only time something like that happend to me was during a power glitch. Twice within an hour! Both were short lived, the only reason I knew it was a power glitch both times was because my clocks started flashing 12:00.
