E7 appears on the display; fan does not run and unit may shut down quickly.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Do not operate the air fryer with a non-functioning fan, as this can cause overheating.

• Check for obstructions: Remove the basket and drawer. Look up toward the heater/fan assembly. Ensure no food pieces, foil, or foreign objects are jammed in the fan guard.
• Spin test: With the unit unplugged, gently spin the fan blades through the guard using a non-metallic tool. The fan should rotate freely. If it is stiff or scraping, the motor bearings may be failing or debris is lodged behind the guard.
• Inspect fan wiring: Open the housing and locate the fan motor connector on the PCB. Ensure it is fully seated and that the wires are not cut or pinched.
• Test motor (advanced): Disconnect the fan motor and measure its resistance. An open circuit or very low resistance may indicate a failed motor. Replace the fan motor assembly if defective.
• After replacement: Reassemble, ensuring the fan spins freely and the guard is correctly positioned. Run a short test cycle to confirm E7 is cleared.
