WiFi/Bluetooth Controller upgrade board will not stay powered on

[Dkranz]

G'morning,
I have a PB1000XL Barrel Smoker and did the Wifi/Bluetooth controller upgrade. I did a few smokes on it and worked really well, but this morning went out to start the smoker, and it would power on for about 30 seconds and then power off. Tried switching plugs, and it was the same issue. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks for your help

Welcome from Texas to the group!
I personally don’t want or need that on my 820.
There’s was someone on that said to uninstall and reinstall

Are you seeing any kind of error on the controller screen or flashing icon, before it shuts down?

After reading the reviews for this upgraded wifi controller on the Pit Boss website. Some customers having the same issues as you. My guess is the controller is bad. Where did you buy the controller? Pit Boss website or Amazon?
