Air fryer fan does not run; heat builds up unevenly or unit shuts down.

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit. Do not insert fingers near the fan blades.

• Listen for fan: During a cook cycle, you should hear the fan. If silent, proceed with inspection.
• Check for obstructions: Remove the basket and visually inspect the fan. Remove any stuck food or foil.
• Manual spin: Gently spin the fan with a wooden stick. If it does not spin freely, replace the fan motor.
• Inspect wiring: Access the top cover and verify the fan motor connector is secure on both the motor and the main control board.
• Replace motor or board: If the motor is open or seized, replace it. If the motor tests good but never receives power, replace the main control board.
