The drain is clogged.It has to be cleaned to make it drain. Jenn-Air grease trap is easy to disassemble and easy to use.
So you can clean it manually and make it drain:---

    The linked solution does not apply to ranges, just to cook tops. The drain bottle is at the bottom of the range, behind the bottom access plate which can be removed by lifting then pulling (not under the countertop as stated in the linked solution). If the pipe is clogged, I recommend a long flexible wire brush. This one worked great for me:

    It's not sold for stove cleaning but it's perfect for the task.

Where do I find the drain for the hydraulics on a 575 series?

On your Traeger Pellet Grill?

This is what happens when you don't post

'year make model' for vehicles.
or
'make model (what it is)' for all other questions.

So we guess you have a Traeger. They are great grills, but not sure where the hydraulics are. The do have a grease and oil drain though :>D

What am I doing wrong? The grease does not flow into the outside bucket on my Traeger

There could be a few reasons why the grease is not flowing into the outside bucket on your Traeger smoker. Here are a few things to check:
  1. Make sure the grease bucket is properly positioned and securely attached to the smoker. It should be placed directly underneath the grease drain hole.
  2. Ensure that the grease bucket is not full or overflowing. If the bucket is full, the grease will not be able to flow into it and will instead build up inside the smoker.
  3. Check that the grease drain hole on the smoker is not clogged. Grease and food particles can build up and block the hole, preventing the grease from flowing into the bucket. Clean the grease drain hole with a pipe cleaner or toothpick.
  4. Check that the grease bucket is not too cold. If the grease bucket is too cold, the grease may solidify and block the drain hole. Keep the grease bucket in a warm place to help the grease flow more easily.
  5. Check your owner manual, if there is any specific troubleshooting steps provided, that can be helpful to solve the issue.
If none of these solutions solve the problem, it's best to contact the manufacturer or a professional for further assistance.

How to use both sides of the weber cast iron griddle

After both sides are seasoned, you simply remove the necessary grill grates and replace them with the griddle. Or set it right on top of the grates. However, the grease drain hole may not work that well, when sitting on top of the grates. Since the ones that I have seen look the same on both sides, I don't see any advantage in using both sides. Certainly would make it harder to keep seasoned.

How do I replace my firebox?

Actually, I don't think all the parts you'll need are still available for that model, as it has been discontinued. However, some parts like burners, ignitors, grease drain tray, etc are still available. None of the body parts are. Besides, if you could find them, the cost for all the necessary parts would cost you almost as much as a new grill. Not sure you'd really gain anything. At least with a new grill, you would have a new warranty.

Hope this helped you in some way.

I have a jenair and it is not draining. I saw your advise below to check the bottom of the dishwasher as well as make sure the drain line is clear all the way thru? Can I do that with out calling in for...

Maybe. Check for your normal clogs near the drain (you have probably done that already).
Can you hear the pump running and water flowing inside when you run a wash cycle? The same pump that circulates the water empties the machine too. If the pump is pumping normally in the wash cycle there may be a bad or obstructed valve or drain line. If you remove the drain line at the valve you might find something in it. If not, the next step would be to check the drain valve with an ohmmeter.
If it's not something like a clogged line or faulty valve then it's probably in the timer or computer and it might be time to call somebody.
Good luck!

Shower drain still leaking

Shower drains can be a real pain to install. If you have the screw in type with the rubber gasket and card then you need to take it appart again. The card usually rips and then the rubber is twisted out of place. Use clear bathroom silicone (not acrillic based) between the upper grill part and the shower base, lube the plascit nut & rubber with silicone grease (home depot) and throw the card (now crushed or soaked) in the garbage. Have someone hold the grill in place (needle nose pliers) while you put the rubber & nut on. Keep a close eye on the rubber as it can still get forced out as you tighten. Clean up the silicone before it sets. If you have the rubber wedge style then I would suggest that you buy a screw on type.

Gas grill overheated

I might have an Idea to what happened. All grills have a drip pan, most all new grills have a drain for grease that falls from our savory meats. Well, if, (not saying that you haven't) but if, you have not cleaned the drip pan, there is still grease left over that gets absorbed by food droppings. IF this is the case, you had a ticking time bomb of a grease fire. The grill did not overheat, the grease caught fire. You said your grill was a year old; so the regulator did not go full blast and when they do go bad they do not let gas pass through.

Not trying to preach to no one because I have done it myself, never leave your gas grill on and unattended. I hate to say it but even the owners manual says it.

I hope I did not come off the wrong way and I hope this might give you an idea/thought of what happened.

The grease drain line is clogged on my Jenn Air Range/Oven somewhere between the grease storage bin and the bottom of the grill area in the area that is not visible. Is it possible to clean this?

Both grease drain lines on my Jenn Aire SVE 47600 are blocked - I have tried liquid plumber, but it hasn't cleared things up. Has anyone had this problem and figured out a solution?
