How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before inspection.
- Step 1 – Check cord fit: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. Avoid wiggling or partially inserted plugs.
- Step 2 – Ventilation: Confirm that the air fryer has adequate space around it and is not placed under low cabinets trapping heat.
- Step 3 – Inspect thermal devices: Access the heater area and test the thermal fuse and thermostat for continuity when cool. If they open at normal cooking temperatures, replace them.
- Step 4 – PCB heat damage: Look for browned areas on the PCB, especially near power components. If present, replace the main control board.
- Step 5 – Avoid overloading circuit: Do not run the air fryer on the same circuit as high‑draw appliances like microwaves or space heaters.
