    I was using my Egg Genius to do ribs here in MN yesterday with outside temp at approx. 9 degrees F.  It worked wonderfully for 4.5 hours, then the fan stopped working.  I noticed condensation and icicles on the unit...could the fan have frozen stuck?  It made the egg temp drop and I had to pull it out to finish the cook.  Should I take it back for malfunction? 
    This can happen with fan driven controllers. It’s fairly rare but it happens. All brands. What I’ve done before with my older Guru brand was simply heat it up a minute and broke loose the ice.

    Take the fan inside. Let it dry out and put the pit probe on it and set the pit temp to 200 degrees and let it start to see if it runs. I would think at 9 degrees  not much humidity in the air. Could the moisture be dripping off the egg and getting sucked into the fan. The fact you saw icicles on the fan makes me think the moisture condensed off the egg and froze on the fan.
