How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the panel.
Steps to reduce phantom touches:
- Clean and dry: Wipe the touch panel with a dry, lint-free cloth. Ensure no condensation or grease remains.
- Relocate appliance: Move the air fryer away from strong electromagnetic sources (e.g., induction cooktops, large motors).
- Inspect panel: Check for cracks or warping of the touch surface. Replace the UI panel if physically damaged.
- Check grounding: Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded, as poor grounding can affect capacitive sensing.
Note: Persistent phantom touches after cleaning and relocation usually indicate a failing touch controller or UI board.
