Air fryer emits a burning plastic or electrical smell during use.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the fryer and stop using it if you smell burning plastic or electrical odor. Fire risk.

• Visual inspection: After the unit cools, remove the rear cover and inspect wiring near the heater, fan, and control board for melted insulation or discoloration.
• Check connectors: Look for darkened or charred spade connectors on the heater, fan, and power input. Replace any burnt connectors and associated wiring with high-temperature rated wire.
• Inspect heater area: Check for plastic utensils, packaging, or other foreign objects that may have fallen onto the heater. Remove any debris.
• Board inspection: Examine the main control board for burnt components or scorch marks. Replace the board if any damage is found.
• Test before full use: After repairs, run the unit empty on a low setting and monitor for any odor before returning to normal use.
