Shocked

[Charles]

My 10 year old 575 that I bought used, is going to high temperature when on smoke setting or any temperature for they matter. And when I lift the lid the handle mildly shocks me

Sounds like a grounding issue, is it on a GFCI circuit?

Get one of these if you don’t have one and check the outlet that it’s plugged into. If you don’t get the right light sequence get it fixed. Better yet check all your outlets. If the outlets are okay then there’s something wrong in the traeger.

If you bought it used check the plug to see if the ground pin was removed or if the neutral blade was filed down so the plug can be fit into a non polarity outlet. PM me for a more detailed explanation.

I was up late with traeger support and we determined it was a faulty switch. Got it ordered. Thanks for the reply

Good to hear that it’s solved.
