    Reversible

    Power cycle the grill, and if LEr returns, power cycle it once more.

  2. Correct only the documented fault domain

    Reversible

    Traeger says LEr usually clears after a power cycle and that a persistent one points elsewhere. The causes it lists are starting the grill incorrectly, cold or windy weather, old or wet pellets, no pellets in the firepot (tunneling in the hopper or an auger jam, or an unprimed auger on a new grill), sawdust, ash or too many pellets in the firepot, a blocked or too-short chimney, a P-Setting that needs adjusting, and rarely a bad induction fan, RTD or hot rod. Healthy pellets are shiny and snap easily.
