How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips; this indicates a fault.
- Try a different circuit: Plug the air fryer into a different outlet on a separate circuit with no other large appliances.
- Inspect cord and plug: Look for damage or burn marks. Replace the cord if any defects are found.
- Internal inspection: Open the housing and inspect heater wiring, terminals, and the main control board for signs of arcing or melted insulation. Repair or replace damaged components.
- Element test: Test the heating element for shorts to ground with a multimeter. Replace if shorted.
