How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit cannot fall from the counter. Unplug before internal inspection.

  • Level the unit: Place the air fryer on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it near the edge of the counter.
  • Check feet: Inspect the rubber feet on the bottom. Replace missing or hardened feet to improve stability.
  • Tighten screws: Remove the outer shell and tighten any loose screws securing the fan, motor, and heater assemblies.
  • Inspect fan balance: Check the fan for missing pieces or heavy grease buildup on one side. Clean or replace the fan if imbalanced.
  • Replace motor: If vibration persists and the motor shaft has noticeable play, replace the convection fan motor.
