Basket handle feels loose or wobbly; basket may feel unsafe when loaded with food.

Safety first: Do not lift a full basket by a loose handle. Allow the unit and basket to cool before tightening screws.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect handle screws: Look at the underside and sides of the handle where it attaches to the basket. Tighten any visible screws with the correct screwdriver.
• Check for cracks: Examine the plastic handle bracket for hairline cracks or breaks. If cracked, replace the handle or entire basket assembly.
• Avoid overloading: Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum food weight recommended by GoWISE USA for your model.
• Test stability: After tightening, test the handle with an empty basket first, then with a light load before normal use.

When to stop: If the handle cannot be tightened securely or the bracket is damaged, replace the basket/handle assembly to avoid accidents.
