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.
