1. Green Mountain Grill FAL Code

FAL code on your Green Mountain Grill means it fails to ignite, or your grill igniter failing to ignite. Your grill will display this error message if the burn cup is filled with ash.

When you try to ignite the grill, the ash in the burn cup will drop off and smother the fire. Therefore, faulty igniter wire connections or defective igniter can also be the culprit behind this issue. 

How To Clear The ‘FAL’ Error Code

Vacuum out the burn pot to remove the ash from it and retry to ignite your grill to solve the issue.

Secondly, check the igniter wire connections and make sure it’s secure. Lastly, you should replace the igniter with a new one if it gets defective. 

2. Green Mountain Grill NFD Code

NFD error code means the grill fails to detect any food. It’s because the meat probe isn’t securely inserted into the control board.

Alternatively, the wire connection of the meat probe gets faulty or kinked. Turns out, a defective meat probe can also be the reason behind displaying the NFD error message.
