How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before removing the control panel.

Steps to address dim display:

  • 1. Check viewing angle and lighting: Ensure the issue is not just glare or angle-related.
  • 2. Access control panel: Remove screws and gently pull the panel forward to expose the display module and its connector.
  • 3. Reseat display connector: Unplug and reconnect the display ribbon or plug, ensuring a secure fit.
  • 4. Inspect for heat damage: Look for discoloration or warping around the display. If present, replace the control panel assembly.
  • 5. Replace display/control panel: If the display remains dim or segments are missing, install a new Insignia control panel assembly with integrated display.

Warning: Do not press hard on the display; this can crack the module.
