How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before adjusting the door or latch.

Steps to fix door not staying closed:

  • 1. Inspect latch: Examine the latch hook and catch for cracks or wear. Ensure the spring (if visible) is intact.
  • 2. Clean latch area: Remove crumbs and grease from the latch and surrounding area.
  • 3. Check alignment: Verify that the door or drawer is not sagging. Adjust hinges or rails if they are loose.
  • 4. Replace latch assembly: If the latch hook or spring is broken, install a new Insignia latch or catch assembly.

Warning: Do not operate the air fryer with the door partially open; this can affect safety switches and cause overheating.
