Possible Causes

Blocked vents, Failing thermal fuse or thermostat, Overloaded circuit causing voltage drop, Internal fan not cooling electronics

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool fully before restarting.

Improve ventilation: Move the air fryer away from walls and other appliances. Ensure vents are not blocked.
Reduce load: Avoid running multiple high-wattage appliances on the same circuit.
Check fan operation: Confirm that the internal cooling fan (if separate from convection fan) is running.
Inspect thermal devices (advanced): Check the thermal fuse and thermostats for signs of overheating. Replace any components that show damage or test out of spec.
