How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool. Do not insert fingers near the fan blades.
Steps to troubleshoot fan not running:
- 1. Listen for fan: During a cycle, you should hear the fan. If not, stop the cycle and unplug.
- 2. Check for obstructions: Remove the basket and inspect the fan guard area for stuck food or foil. Remove any debris carefully.
- 3. Access fan motor: Remove the housing to reach the convection fan motor assembly. Try spinning the fan by hand; if stiff, the motor is likely bad.
- 4. Inspect wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is fully seated on the control PCB and wires are intact.
- 5. Replace motor: If the motor is seized or open, replace the convection fan motor assembly.
- 6. Control board: If the motor is good but never receives power, replace the main control PCB.
