Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before opening the housing. Do not attempt to reprogram firmware without official support.
Step-by-step checks:
- Extended power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 30 minutes to allow internal capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and test.
- Surge protection: If the error occurred after a storm or outage, move the unit to a surge-protected outlet for future use.
- Inspect board connections: Remove the cover to access the main control board. Reseat all multi-pin connectors and ribbon cables to ensure solid contact.
- Look for board damage: Check for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or discoloration around the microcontroller and memory ICs.
- Test operation: Reassemble and test multiple functions (temperature up/down, timer, presets). If E9 reappears, the board is likely irreparably corrupted.
When to stop: EEPROM or firmware faults generally require replacement of the main control board. Contact GoWISE USA or a professional technician for the correct replacement part.
