Hey Ya'll,
I'm posting this as a PSA...Sunday evening I fired up my S-670 to prepare supper and as is was getting dark I turned on the knob LEDs. Result: the LEDs were very dim and flickered. "No big deal" I thought to myself I'll just change out those old batteries. What I found was that the batteries had leaked all inside the battery casing and corroded the contacts. The batteries were the ones supplied with the grill when it was purchased in Feb of 2012, so almost 1.5 years old. It seems like it worked fine a couple of weeks ago.
So here is friendly reminder to everyone...check those batteries so you can avoid what happened to me. Weber as usual is taking care of me...THANK YOU WEBER for the AWESOME customer support.
This episode also got me thinking...I checked the handle light batteries and they are ok, but I can't seem to find any other batteries that may power the LED tank indicator? Any ideas?
