E10 appears and the air fryer will not start; sometimes accompanied by beeping.

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before inspecting the basket switch mechanism.

• Check basket insertion: Remove and firmly reinsert the basket/drawer, ensuring it is fully seated and latched. Try pressing slightly inward on the handle while starting a cycle.
• Inspect latch and rails: Look for bent rails, warped plastic, or debris preventing the drawer from closing fully. Clean the rails and latch area.
• Locate the basket switch: With the unit unplugged, remove the outer shell to access the front frame. Find the small microswitch that is actuated by the basket or a plastic lever.
• Test the switch: Manually press the switch and listen for a click. Use a multimeter to check continuity when pressed. If no continuity or no click, replace the basket detection microswitch.
• Check actuator: Ensure the plastic tab or lever that presses the switch is not broken. Replace the front frame or actuator piece if damaged.
