PBV4NX dead controller board, needs replacement but Pit Boss says "Out Of Stock". Where to buy replacement?

[DigitalDude65]

Hiya from Easter NC.
My PBV4NX Copperhead controller board died after 1.5 months. Pitboss has been a PIA with a warranty replacement. First, "Oh, we didn't complete the order" and then "Out Of Stock, You Have To Wait" at the warehouse.

Are there any alternatives to purchase or upgrade this control board? I think the SKU is 80174. Google search has been no help.

Thanks for any info.

Yes

Yes

Searched the internet for hours, even using the part number Pit Boss 'said' it is (80174) but no luck finding the exact one.

You may not find the "exact" one but this one might work. Looks the same. You need to pull yours out and look at the back. Check wires and compare yours to the pictures in the listing....

I replaced my PB controller with one from Camp Chef and couldn’t be happier.

Real close with slight differences. I'd need to move some wires around in the new connectors. I don't have those white wires jumping to each connector. Red and Yellow are in one connector, not two.

Do you have a PBV4NX? If so, do you have the part number of the controller you installed?

This is interesting. The Schematic in the owner's manual, the pic on the back of the grill, and the repair instructions pit boss sent me all shows 4 connectors with the white wire between them. This controller must be a new version, maybe?

My series 4 vertical shows 4 connectors on the wire diagram also. 2 of the wires were in the same connector. Just need to switch those and you should be good.

Ordered off amazon. I'll let you know the results

Hope it works...
