this smoker was given to me and it had NEVER been used... it was won in a raffle or something and turned out to be DOA . i called and was able to get masterbuilt to send me a new control panel... still not responding at all, the control panel does nothing, no beeping no lights nothing.... its not the outlet... / ive pulled the metal panel off the wires are fine on the heating element... i tested on the bottom with a multimeter, there is power there... i cannot seem to find a fuse or anything else. i have read that the problem is likely a short in the cabinet and mb may send me a new one.... if anyone knows where the short may or may not be please let me know i dont mind doing the repair myself... the weird thing is it NEVER worked... never powered on period, it really seems like something is just not connected or a bad fuse.... ive looked on the forums and see the wiring diagrams etc, but seeing as these smokers are problematic i was hoping someone on here had experienced this and has done the repair themselves and not just replaced the full cabinet. thanks
