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.
