Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening any covers. Avoid touching exposed circuitry with bare hands.
- Power cycle: Unplug the air fryer for at least 10 minutes, then reconnect and test. This can clear transient communication faults.
- Check control panel flex cable: If you can access the top cover, inspect the ribbon cable between the touch control panel and the main control board. Ensure it is fully seated and not creased or torn.
- Inspect connectors: Gently disconnect and reconnect the low-voltage connectors on the main board to reseat them.
- Firmware reset (if available): Some Instant models support a factory reset via a button combination. Refer to the user manual and perform the reset if applicable.
- Replace control board: Persistent E9 errors usually indicate a failing main control board; replacement of the board is typically required.
