Grill Error Codes

DCS
HI
HI – Grill error code
MEDIUM
The control is reporting a high-temperature or over-limit condition. Let the grill cool with the lid open as the manual allows, confirm the burner controls are off, and clean heavy grease buildup that can trap heat. If HI returns during normal preheat or cooking, stop use and schedule service—temperature sensors, regulators, or controls may need professional diagnostics.
HOT
HOT – Grill error code
MEDIUM
Indicates the firebox or a monitored zone is hotter than the control expects. Avoid leaving all burners on high unattended, check for obstructions over vents or heat shields, and allow the unit to cool. Repeated HOT alerts with ordinary use suggest a sensor, flame, or control issue that should be checked by a technician.
OPEN
OPEN – Grill error code
MEDIUM
The control believes a door or lid switch is open. Make sure the lid is fully seated, nothing is blocking latches or hinges, and debris is not holding the switch plunger away from the body. If the display shows OPEN while the lid is clearly closed, wiring or the lid switch may have failed.
SHrt
SHrt – Grill error code
HIGH
Typically interpreted as a short or low-resistance fault in an igniter, flame sensor, or related circuit. Do not keep resetting burners if you smell gas—follow your utility’s gas odor instructions. Power off the appliance at the breaker and book service; these errors usually need parts and electrical checks.
