Air fryer basket is difficult to insert or remove; it sticks or jams.

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before forcing the basket.

• Clean rails: Remove the basket and clean the side rails and bottom guides with a degreaser and cloth to remove sticky residue.
• Inspect for warping: Check the basket for distortion from overheating or dishwasher damage. Replace if out of shape.
• Check rails: Look inside the cavity for bent metal rails. Gently straighten with pliers if slightly bent.
• Test fit: Reinsert the basket slowly, ensuring it is level and aligned with the guides.
