Possible Causes

Marginal door switch alignment, Weak door magnet (for reed switch models), Basket not fully engaging switch, Partially broken switch lever

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the fryer before adjusting switches.

  • Check closure: Firmly close the door or push the basket in until you feel a positive click. Try pressing slightly inward while pressing Start.
  • Inspect switch area: Locate the door or basket switch and ensure nothing is blocking its movement.
  • Adjust alignment: Loosen the switch mounting screws and reposition slightly so that the door/basket actuates it more positively.
  • Replace weak components: If the magnet is weak or the switch lever is cracked, replace the affected part.
