Air fryer leaks grease or liquid onto the countertop.

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before handling hot grease. Use heat‑resistant gloves if needed.

• Check fill level: Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Excess fat can overflow the basket.
• Inspect basket and pan: Remove the basket and outer pan. Look for cracks, warping, or holes. Replace any damaged components.
• Examine gasket: Some Kenmore air fryers use a silicone gasket between the basket and pan. Ensure it is present, seated correctly, and not torn. Replace if worn.
• Clean drain holes: Clear any clogged drain or airflow holes that may cause pooling and overflow.
• Use drip tray: For very fatty foods, place a drip tray or liner designed for air fryers to catch excess grease.
