Possible Causes
Failed heater and fan relays on main board, Broken common supply to outputs, Door/basket switch not recognized, Firmware glitch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the fryer before internal inspection.
- Check door/basket status: Ensure the door is fully closed or basket fully inserted. Wiggle slightly to see if the fan/heater start; if so, suspect the door/basket switch.
- Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in and try a basic cycle.
- Inspect door/basket switch: Test the switch for proper operation and replace if it does not change state when actuated.
- Board inspection: Remove the cover and inspect the main control board relays for burn marks or cracked solder joints. Replace the board if relays appear damaged or if both fan and heater outputs are dead.
