How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.
- Cooking practices: Do not overload the basket; leave space for air circulation. Shake or turn food halfway through cooking as recommended.
- Clean fan and heater: Remove grease and debris from the fan and heating element area to restore proper airflow.
- Inspect basket: Check for warping or bent mesh that could restrict airflow. Replace if deformed.
- Element check: During operation, observe the heating element (if visible). Dark or cold spots along the element may indicate a partial failure; replace the element assembly.
