Q. Why does my Digital Bradley Smoker starts OK then beeps and displays an E1 error on the screen?

A. The E1 error is usually an issue with the TC wire (small wire between generator and tower). If you unplug and re-plug it a couple of times or even unplug and reverse it, it will usually help. I found that the problem only happened a couple of times. Once I had unplugged and re-plugged a couple of times it seemed to resolve it. It was almost like it had some rough cast plastic in the pin part of the connector or something.

Additional Information from the Bradley website:
An "E1" message is something to do with the sensor cable. The sensor cable is the short skinny cable that runs from the generator to the tower. Please make sure that it's connected, secondly unplug it and switch the ends around, so plug "A" side into "B" and the "B" side into "A" sometime that makes a better connection. Also make sure that is nothing blocking that connection ie: loose chips, dust (using a piece of steel wool or super fine sandpaper to clean the ends of your sensor cable works well).

Also; while the generator is on and the "E1" error is displayed and beeping, check the connection by wiggling one side of the connection up and down and left to right, and then the other side. If the "E1" message temporally goes away while you were wiggling one side, you need a new sensor connector.

Hello Dave

If what CRG posted doesnt help then try this

If you are getting a E-1 error you might have a bad connection to the temp sensor the connection is located in the back of the smoke tower remove the back of the smoker
and check the connection.

I checked the back of tower and everything looks ok. unpluged and plug back end. If it doesn't work I will call tomarrow. My smoker was bought in CA but was shipped from Gailsburg, IL 35 miles away.

Ask to speak to Bryan, he is top notch and knows his Bradleys.

Got the parts today, and went home to get smoker. Changed wire first, still E-1 next changed smoke gen sensor still E-1. Then changed both in smoker. And ......E-1 I was a shop teacher for 14 years and a rental store owner for 23 years, I have 850 pieces o equipment to keep going. Now I have 851, maybe it needs a BFH to fix it. I bought for enjoyment,so far not much enjoyment. I am only 35 miles from Galesburg, IL where it was shipped.

I would be sitting on their door step in the morning.

Sorry to hear that wasn't the "fix".

[dsgarrison]

Brian did good and sent the parts, now I am past that, let see what happens next or someone could buy this smoker for shipping so I don't have to look at it.
