Unit vibrates excessively or moves slightly on the countertop during operation.

Safety first: Ensure the unit cannot fall from the counter. Unplug before internal inspection.

Step-by-step checks:

• Check surface: Place the air fryer on a flat, stable surface. Verify all rubber feet are present and intact.
• Inspect fan: Access the fan and check that all blades are intact and the fan is securely fastened to the motor shaft.
• Tighten hardware: Tighten internal screws securing the fan shroud, heater, and motor mounts.
• Load balance: Avoid placing very heavy items on one side of the basket; shake or redistribute food mid-cook.

When to stop: If vibration remains severe after these checks, the fan motor or blade may be out of balance and should be replaced.
