How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before adjusting internal switches.

Steps to fix intermittent basket detection:

  • Check drawer fit: Ensure the drawer slides smoothly and fully seats without excessive side-to-side play.
  • Inspect actuator tab: Look at the drawer edge where it engages the internal switch. If the plastic tab is worn or rounded, it may not press the switch firmly. Replace the drawer/basket assembly if needed.
  • Access microswitch: Remove the bottom cover and locate the basket safety microswitch. Verify that it is securely mounted and aligned with the drawer path.
  • Adjust or tighten: Slightly adjust the switch position so the drawer presses it more positively, then tighten mounting screws.
  • Replace switch: If the switch is mechanically loose or electrically intermittent, replace it with a Kalorik basket safety microswitch.

Reliable operation of the safety switch is essential; do not bypass it.
