Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation, Failing thermal cut-out, Overheating of main PCB, Fan not running at full speed, Excessive ambient temperature around appliance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool fully before inspection. Unplug from mains.

  • Ventilation: Ensure at least 10 cm clearance around all sides and that rear vents are not blocked by walls or objects.
  • Fan performance: Confirm the fan starts immediately and runs strongly. If weak or intermittent, inspect and replace the convection fan motor.
  • Thermal cut-out: Locate the thermal cut-out / thermostat and check for signs of repeated tripping (discoloration). Replace if it trips at too low a temperature.
  • PCB cooling: Ensure no dust buildup on the main PCB and that any heat sinks are firmly attached.
  • Usage conditions: Avoid operating the fryer in enclosed cabinets or near other heat sources.
