YS640 Fan Noise
Posted: November 26th, 2016, 10:45 am
I fired my cooker up this morning to run another 13lbs turkey on it for our second thanksgiving dinner this afternoon. Its pretty cold in Wichita this morning, about 33*F. I followed my typical start up procedure which included vacuuming the fire pot and all the ash and getting it setup for a 5 hour cook.
When I switched the cooker to ON the fans kicked on like normal and everything seemed fine and then one of the fans (i think the inner fan) sounded as it if bogged down after about 3 secs of run time. I switched the cooker off and unplugged it to reset and started over... I did this 3 times and the fan bogged down each time. I went ahead and ran with it because I needed to get the bird going. Its been running about 45 mins and all seems okay and the fan seems to sound normal now.
I remember there being a procedure to check the fans and maybe clean them? Is that my next step?
Please advise.
