My grill [ Traeger 0070] has a thermometer setting from smoke to to 225 deg graduating settings of 25 deg to 400 deg. When starting the grill on the smoke setting the temperature goes up to 285 deg and never drops down to 160 - 180 deg as it was set up when I first began using the grill. I have changed out the selective temperature control and still have this problem. Could the problem be with the temperature probe inside the grill?

Call Traeger direct.
You have a bad control unit
Mike Treager is really good about replacing anything that goes wrong

SOURCE: I have an electric Traeger grill. I plug it in

Make sure your grill is unplugged. Them take the controler out and there is a fuse on the back side of the control. There is also a new fuse there to replace the old one. If the fuse is blown, you could have a bad hot rod or other component that is bad. Usually the hot rod is the problem and they should be under warrenty so call Treager and get a new one sent. If the fuse blows after it is replace, you can un hook the purple wire and replace the fuse and see if it will work them. If it does, it is the hotrod.
