E6 — Flame Not Started

Weber · SEARWOOD Grills

What does E6 mean?

This error means the grill attempted to ignite the pellets, but a flame was not detected. This prevents the grill from reaching its desired cooking temperature.

Common Causes

  • Insufficient pellets in the burn pot.
  • Glow plug failure.
  • Low quality pellets that do not ignite easily.
  • Auger jam preventing pellet delivery.
