Possible Causes

Damaged non-stick coating with pinholes, Warped drawer pan, Overfilled basket with excess oil, Cracked drip tray, Misaligned drawer seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool before handling hot oil.

  • Check fill level: Do not add large quantities of oil directly to the basket. Air fryers are designed for minimal oil use.
  • Inspect drawer and basket: Remove and fill the drawer with a small amount of water over a sink to check for leaks. Look for cracks or pinholes.
  • Seal condition: Inspect any drawer sealing gasket for damage or misalignment. Reseat or replace as needed.
  • Replace leaking parts: Replace the frying basket or drawer pan if they are warped, cracked, or heavily worn.
