Frigidaire Cool-Down Cycle Extended / Control Logic Issue

Air fryer fan continues to run for an unusually long time after cooking ends

Possible Causes

Temperature sensor reading high, Control board firmware behavior, Stuck relay controlling fan, Poor ventilation causing slow cool-down

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: The fan may run to cool internal components; this is often normal. Do not unplug immediately if the manual advises a cool‑down period.

  • Step 1 – Check manual: Confirm whether extended fan operation after cooking is normal for your Frigidaire model.
  • Step 2 – Improve airflow: Ensure the unit has adequate space around it to cool quickly.
  • Step 3 – Sensor check: If the fan runs excessively long (e.g., over 20–30 minutes), inspect the temperature sensor for proper mounting and operation.
  • Step 4 – Control board: If the sensor is good but the fan never shuts off unless unplugged, the fan relay on the control board may be stuck and the board should be replaced.
