Dash air fryer powers on but shuts off randomly during cooking; display goes dark and then may come back after a few minutes.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspection. Allow it to cool if it has been running.

Step 1 – Check external connections

• Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet; try a different outlet if necessary.
• Avoid using extension cords or power strips.

Step 2 – Ventilation and placement

• Make sure the air fryer has several inches of clearance on all sides.
• Do not operate under low cabinets where heat can build up.

Step 3 – Internal inspection (advanced)

• Open the housing (unplugged).
• Inspect the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat for signs of heat damage.
• Check the control board for dull or cracked solder joints, especially at the power input and relay pins.
• Gently wiggle connectors while the unit is unplugged to ensure they are secure.

Step 4 – Replace suspect components

• Replace any discolored or heat-damaged thermal devices.
• If moving the cord or board causes power to flicker (tested carefully with the unit reassembled and plugged in), the control board or cord should be replaced.
