Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer immediately. If you saw smoke or smelled burning, do not attempt to power it again until inspected.
Step 1 – External inspection
- Check the outlet and plug for burn marks.
- If the breaker tripped, reset it only after unplugging the air fryer.
Step 2 – Internal inspection (advanced)
- Remove the housing screws and carefully open the unit (unplugged).
- Locate the main control board behind the front panel or in the base.
- Look for burned components, cracked solder joints, or exploded capacitors.
- Inspect wiring harnesses for melted insulation or arcing marks to the metal chassis.
Step 3 – Decide on repair vs. replacement
- If the control board shows any burn damage, replace the entire board; component-level repair is not recommended for most DIYers.
- If wiring is damaged, replace the affected harness and secure it away from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
Warning: Do not continue using an air fryer that has experienced an internal electrical fault. Fire and shock risks are significant. If under warranty, contact Dash support for replacement options.
