Possible Causes

Cracked or warped drip pan, Overfilled basket with fatty foods, Missing or damaged pan gasket, Pan not fully seated in basket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before handling hot grease.

Steps to stop leaking:

  • Check fill level: Avoid overloading the basket, especially with high-fat foods that render a lot of grease.
  • Inspect pan and gasket: Remove the pan and look for cracks, warping, or a damaged silicone gasket (if equipped). Replace the pan or gasket if compromised.
  • Ensure proper assembly: Confirm the pan is fully inserted and locked into the basket before cooking.
  • Clean overflow: Wipe any grease from the cavity floor and under the unit to prevent odors and smoke.

Note: Always place the air fryer on a level, heat-resistant surface to minimize leakage.
