Possible Causes
Aging LED display backlight, Loose display connector, Weak low-voltage regulator on control board, Heat damage to display module
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before removing the control panel.
Steps to address dim or flickering display:
- 1. Check viewing angle and lighting: Ensure the dimness is not just due to bright ambient light or viewing angle.
- 2. Inspect display connections: Remove the control panel housing and reseat the connector between the display module and main board.
- 3. Look for heat damage: Check the display module for discoloration or warping from heat. If present, the module should be replaced.
- 4. Replace display module: If reseating the connector does not help, replace the display/control panel assembly.
- 5. Control board check: If a new display is still dim, the low‑voltage supply on the control board may be weak. Replace the main control board.
Note: A slightly dimmer display over many years can be normal aging, but severe flickering indicates a fault.
