Shock and Fire Risk: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker without finding the cause. Unplug the air fryer immediately.

Step 1 – Try a different outlet: Plug the air fryer into a different circuit (not a GFCI in a wet area) to confirm the issue follows the appliance.
Step 2 – Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, crushed sections, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
Step 3 – Internal inspection: With the unit unplugged, remove the cover and inspect for burnt wires, melted insulation, or metal parts contacting live terminals.
Step 4 – Test heater and motor: Disconnect the heater and fan motor and test their resistance. A very low resistance or visible short indicates the component must be replaced.
Step 5 – Do not bypass safety devices: Replace any blown internal fuses only after correcting the short. Never bypass fuses or breakers.
Professional help recommended: If you cannot easily locate the short, contact a qualified technician.
