Air fryer trips the household circuit breaker or GFCI outlet.

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately. Unplug the air fryer before inspection.

• Try another outlet: Plug the unit into a different circuit (not a GFCI if possible) to confirm the issue follows the appliance.
• Inspect cord: Look for cuts, crushed areas, or exposed conductors. Replace the cord if damaged.
• Check for moisture: If the unit was recently cleaned or exposed to steam, allow it to dry for 24 hours in a warm, dry area before retesting.
• Inspect internal wiring: Remove covers and look for wires pinched between panels or touching metal parts. Repair or reroute as needed.
• Test heating element: With a multimeter, check resistance from each heater terminal to the metal chassis. Any continuity indicates a ground fault and the element must be replaced.
• Board replacement: If wiring and element are good but the breaker still trips when the unit is turned on, the main control board may be shorted and should be replaced.
