Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection. Do not attempt to jumper outputs without proper knowledge.
Step-by-step checks:
- Verify mode: Ensure you have selected a cooking mode that should run both heater and fan (e.g., standard air fry, not a keep-warm-only mode).
- Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes and retry. Firmware glitches can sometimes clear.
- Listen for relays: When starting a cycle, listen for soft clicks from the control board. No clicks may indicate relay or control failure.
- Check harnesses: Open the housing and verify that the heater and fan connectors are firmly attached to the control board.
- Board replacement: If the timer runs but no outputs are energized and wiring is intact, the main control board is likely defective and should be replaced.
When to stop: Component-level repair of the control board is not recommended for most users. Replace the board or seek professional service.
