Possible Causes
Loose handle screws, Cracked handle mount, Worn locking tabs, Overloading basket beyond rated capacity
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the basket to cool before handling. Unplug the unit.
Steps:
- Tighten screws: Inspect the handle mounting screws and tighten them with the appropriate screwdriver.
- Check for cracks: Look for cracks in the plastic around the handle mounts. If present, replace the basket or handle assembly.
- Avoid overloading: Do not exceed the maximum fill line or weight specified in the manual; excessive weight stresses the handle.
