Possible Causes

Warped or unbalanced fan blade, Loose fan mounting, Missing or hardened rubber feet, Unit placed on uneven or unstable surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspection. Do not allow the fryer to operate unattended if it moves on the counter.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Check placement: Ensure the fryer is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Avoid thin metal racks or uneven tiles.
  • Inspect rubber feet: Turn the unit over (unplugged) and check that all rubber feet are present and intact. Replace missing or hardened feet.
  • Inspect fan blade: Remove the bottom cover and examine the fan blade for warping, cracks, or missing pieces. Replace the fan blade if damaged.
  • Tighten fan and motor mounts: Ensure the fan is securely fastened to the motor shaft and that the motor mounting screws are tight.

Note: Slight vibration is normal, but the unit should not walk across the counter.
