How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer and let it cool. Do not insert tools into the fan area while the unit is plugged in.

  • Initial inspection: Remove the basket and look up toward the fan and heater. Check for visible debris or loose parts.
  • Access fan assembly: Remove the rear or top cover to expose the fan. Carefully remove any stuck food or foil from the blades.
  • Tighten hardware: Check the fan nut or screw on the motor shaft and any mounting screws. Tighten gently to avoid stripping.
  • Check blade condition: If the fan blade is bent or cracked, replace the fan blade or entire fan assembly.
  • Assess motor bearings: Spin the fan by hand. If it feels rough, wobbles, or makes grinding noises, replace the convection fan motor.
