I don’t have THAT problem; I have a broken wire connection, but I don’t know if I need to complete strip the wire to fix it…Thanks!

Hi, good info. Thanks. My Evo grill the power comes on for a blink and shuts off. I think it is this safety switch. The screws and housing were not loose. There is a spring under the switch, but that is for the entire switch, not the actual plunger. As the one above does not have the spring, So I think the spring is just a way to cushion the movement of the switch when the plate is put on. Maybe to stop the issue that is listed here, and that gets the screws loose.

Ok, I was thinking the silver button on the lower plate was moving switch that would not let the unit turn on unless the lower plate was installed. That does NOT appear to be correct. I think this is a temperature sensor. The GRP 4800 R has temperature control, and that silver button has to be it. There is a black speaker (for beep sounds) on the circuit board, but nothing else that appears to be a thermostat. Also the unit beeps when the selected temp is reached, so there is a temp sensor somewhere, and that is all I can see that would be it.

And it may also be part of a cut off system where if say the signal is broken, ie the unit catches on fire, then that tell the circuit board to cut off. But not sure on that point.

The other option is the red button power switch on the circuit board is bad. Or some other part of the circuit board is bad. I inspected the solder connections and did not see any charred or loose connections. The circuit board is marked TSD 2623 Control.

Did you ever find a replacement switch? I’m having the same issue and cannot find a suitable replacement switch.
