Possible Causes
Cracked or warped drip tray, Overfilled basket with excess oil, Missing or misaligned crumb tray, Damaged interior coating allowing seepage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before handling trays or cleaning up hot grease.
- Inspect drip tray: Remove and examine the drip/crumb tray for cracks, warping, or overfilling. Replace if damaged.
- Check basket usage: Avoid adding large amounts of liquid oil directly to the basket; use only light coatings as recommended.
- Verify tray placement: Ensure the crumb tray is fully inserted and correctly oriented to catch drips.
- Inspect interior seams: Look for visible gaps or damage in the interior pan. If grease appears to seep through seams, the inner pan assembly may need replacement.
