How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Verify the outlet with another appliance. Unplug the air fryer before opening it. Do not work on live circuits.

Troubleshooting steps:

  • 1. Check external power: Confirm the wall outlet has power and that any GFCI or breaker has not tripped. Avoid using power strips or extension cords.
  • 2. Inspect the power cord: Look for cuts, fraying, or burn marks. Gently flex the cord near the plug; if power flickers (lights briefly come on), the cord is faulty and should be replaced.
  • 3. Access internal power entry: Remove the rear or bottom cover to expose the power cord entry and terminal block. Tighten any loose screws and ensure wires are fully seated.
  • 4. Test internal fuse: Locate the in-line line fuse on the live conductor. Use a multimeter to check continuity. If blown, identify and correct any obvious short (burned wiring, damaged element) before replacing the fuse with the exact same rating.
  • 5. Inspect main control PCB: If the fuse and cord are good, check the board for burnt components in the power supply section. If damaged, replace the main control PCB.

If you are not experienced with electrical testing, seek professional service.
