In need of any suggestions urgently

[dan0202]

Have a P10
About 2-3 years old
Cooking for large crowd this weekend
Started cook an hour ago
Got to 270 and loaded briskets
Was working for 30 minutes and now the control panel is dead.
The back power light is illuminating so I assume the unit is getting power but unable to get power to control panel.
Is there a reset I can't figure it out.
Is there anything people can suggest.
Kind of screwed and desperate.
Thanks
Dan

There is a fuse in the back under the plug behind a small plastic cover
I have no idea if it is for the whole unit, I've never had to change it, but decided to check it out to see what I would need just in case.

Discovered there is a spare fuse in there.
Someone might have a better idea.

Good luck !

Hi willymike,

Welcome to the forum.

I've never noticed that access plate on my P10. I'll take a look later. But if it is in that location - right near the plug, it most likely will cut the power to all the unit. So it would be a good idea to have a few spare fuses.

thanks for the welcome
My comment about the fuse was actually a poorly worded suggestion for dan0202
I kinda figured it was for the whole thing, but you never know

Oops! My monitor didn't show Dan's post so I didn't see it until now. I thought your message was the only post on this thread. 

I have an early version of the P10, so I need to check if I have the access panel to a fuse back there.
