Possible Causes

Partially failed heating element, Heavy grease buildup on element, Weak power supply due to low line voltage, Failing temperature sensor reading too high

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before cleaning or testing.

  • Clean heating element: Remove the basket and gently wipe grease from the heating element and surrounding area with a damp cloth. Do not soak or spray directly.
  • Check power source: Plug directly into a dedicated wall outlet. Avoid long extension cords that can cause voltage drop.
  • Compare cook times: If cook times are consistently 50% longer than the manual suggests, test the heating element and temperature sensor with a multimeter and replace any out-of-spec components.
  • Replace heating element: If the element shows high resistance or visible damage, install a new heating element assembly.
