How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before inspection.
- Ventilation and loading: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit and avoid blocking vents. Do not overfill the basket.
- Check fan operation: Observe whether the fan slows or stops before shutdown. If so, inspect and replace the fan motor if necessary.
- Inspect thermal cut-out: Access the heater area and test the thermal cut-out for intermittent operation. Replace if it opens at normal operating temperatures.
- Check mains connections: Tighten all mains terminals and inspect the cord for intermittent faults.
- Control board: If all else is normal, the main PCB may be resetting or failing under heat; replace the board.
Warning: Repeated unexpected shutdowns indicate a fault that should be corrected before continued use.
