Possible Causes
Overheating due to blocked vents, Failing high‑limit thermostat tripping early, Fan motor slowing under heat, Excessive grease buildup around heater
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the unit to cool fully before further use.
- Ventilation: Ensure at least 10 cm clearance around the fryer and that vents are not blocked by walls, curtains, or other appliances.
- Deep clean: Remove basket and drawer. Clean the heater guard, fan intake, and exhaust vents thoroughly to remove grease and crumbs.
- Fan performance: Run the fryer empty and listen for the fan. If it slows, squeals, or stops as the unit heats, the fan motor is failing and should be replaced.
- Thermostat replacement: If the unit consistently trips early even with good airflow and a strong fan, replace the high‑limit thermostat.
