I went to start my smoker Thanksgiving morning in Denver and I got the EAAF error. I checked all electrical connections and they appeared fine; I next removed the digital control box and stuck it inside my jacket to warm it up (was 15 deg outside) and lit a candle inside the smoker. After 20 min I put everything back together and it worked. Just remember to remove the candle inside the smoker. I plan to call Mastercraft on Monday to see if they can tell me what EAAF means.
what did they say about it i just had the same error on mine
I live in Morton, IL and had the same error. It was 19 degrees. After reading cpetrickjr's comment, I moved the smoker to the garage and placed a space heater near it. It worked perfectly after that. However, I did leave the garage door slightly open.

Thanks guys, you just saved our New Years Day meal, Got this smoker for my husband for Christmas and this was the first time to use it. We brought it in from the back porch, put it out in the garage and I turned my blow dryer on the control panel. Within 5 minutes it fired up and is now cooking our dinner. Thanks again!!
We live in Evergreen, CO and had the same problem. It's been frigidly cold for the past few days and only up to 26 when we tried to start it up. Your posts helped us figure out the problem. It's warming up in the sunroom now with a couple heaters on it. I figure I will start up shortly. Can't wait to try out the smoked briquet later! Thank you!
Awesome this really did work! Used a blow dryer to heat up the control panel and the inside of the smoker and it started right up. This search was more beneficial then the Masterbuilt website.
Thanks your advice saved the day. It was 1° above 0 and needless to say I got the EAAF error.
I have my smoker for 9mths, and have smoked everything with no problems, untile know I went out this sunday morning at 5:30, to put on a pork ****,its 30' degr out here in azle tx pluged it in went to set the temp. error EAAF came up, boy I was madd. I took the programmer off and took it inside put it in front of the portable heater, for 10mints, put it back on nothing, got on line look at some reviews, someone talked to a service tech, told him to put a hot rag on the heater coils, I took my portable heater out there and open the door put the heat to it for about 3-4mints, bang it started working again, Iam glade that worked I did not want to have to light up the old wood smoker, this electric smoker has me spoiled.
Thanks. Had same problem. Brought smoker inside for awhile and it started working. But now the whole house is smokey and smells like jerky. LOL
yes, the temperature was 31 outside and it wouldn't start. Took a space heater out and placed in on the floor on a box with the heat going into the smoker with the door open. Yeah, it started when the temperature got up to 35 degrees. I had the brined fish ready to go and what was I going to do with it.

If the smoker has been sitting out in the cold when not in use you will get an error code and it will not heat. Take a hair dryer and use it to warm up the sensor. The sensor is located inside the smoker. Open the door and look for a small box with a metal cable coming from it. Mine was located just inside the door in the celling of the smoker seems that when the internal tempreture drops below 40 people start getting this eaaf error code try using the hairdryer on it you can contact masterbuilt to find out exactly what this code means there contact info is Email. customerservice@masterbuilt.com Phone . 1.800.489.1581. 706.327.5622 (local for Columbus, Georgia) 706-660-8022 if you have any further questions please message me back and please remember to rank how this opinion has helped in your appliance situation Thanks again and merry christmas
