PB1100PS1 doesn't come to temp.

[Knightmedic]

No matter what I set the temperature for on the smoker it doesn't even reach 280 degrees and usually hovers around 270. If I set it for 300 it sits at 270, 400, 500, same thing will not go above 270. The control screen shows the temp it is set for and the actual ambient temperature it shows on screen is accurate within a few degrees according to a temperature probe. Any idea how to fix this problem?

Welcome to the club. Have cleaned the temp probe?

Tried that and I was able to get the temp up to 285 but no higher no matter what temp it was set for. Is this a control board issue?

Ensure you are not in smoke mode.
