My Traeger keeps throwing an overheating error code and shutting down. I’ve only used it about 6 times so it’s basically brand new… any help would be appreciated.

Is it "HEr" ????

You’ll see this appear on your Traeger’s display if the temperature inside exceeds 550F for more than 45 seconds. If this happens, your grill will shut off the auger and the fan to start the cool-down process. Once the temperature falls below 450F, the auger will run for 2 minutes to clear any embers from the auger tube.
Power off the grill and let it rest and then clear any pellets from the fire pot. You’ll need to start the grill up yourself once you’re ready to fire it up again. This code is bad news and could signal the demise of your meat unless you act quickly to control the heat or remove the meat from the grill.
Root causes of this kind of temperature surge include low-grade pellets that don’t burn evenly, a build-up of grease, ash, or sawdust that’s burning, or simply a faulty temperature probe giving an incorrect reading.
The worst-case scenario is your temperature controller is malfunctioning. If you’ve eliminated the other possibilities, and you’re still getting this code, it may be time to contact the manufacturer for some help.
