How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
