How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.

  • Step 1 – Level and load: Ensure the air fryer is on a flat, stable surface. Redistribute food evenly in the basket or on racks.
  • Step 2 – Seat accessories: Confirm the basket, drip tray, and racks are fully inserted and locked into their guides.
  • Step 3 – Tighten mounts: Remove the cover and tighten screws securing the fan motor, heater bracket, and internal panels.
  • Step 4 – Inspect fan balance: Check the fan blade for missing pieces or bends. Replace the fan blade if damaged.
