It's been a while since I've been on here but I could use some help. I was in the middle of a rib/Boston butt smoke yesterday and my MES gave up the ghost. The controller seems to be fine but it quit heating. I did a hard reset and checked on different outlets so I know my breaker didn't trip. It seems like I remember others having trouble with the wiring burning up on the older 40" models. Can anybody help me figure out how to troubleshoot this thing? I don't want to tear into the rivets on the back panel unless I have to. I want to think I remembered seeing a tutorial on here about how to fix it but I couldn't find it. Anybody have any ideas? Can you check if the element is good without tearing into the back?
