How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Sensors can be near hot surfaces.

Step 1 – Locate ambient sensor: On some Midea air fryers, a second NTC sensor is placed near the air inlet or control board area. Refer to the wiring harness to identify it.
Step 2 – Check mounting: Ensure the sensor is properly clipped or screwed into its bracket and not hanging loose, which can cause incorrect readings.
Step 3 – Inspect wiring: Look for pinched or cut wires along the sensor harness. Repair with proper high‑temperature connectors if needed.
Step 4 – Measure resistance: At room temperature, measure the sensor resistance and compare to the cabinet sensor. They should be in a similar range. Replace the ambient sensor if open or shorted.
Step 5 – PCB check: If the sensor is good, the main PCB may misread it. Replace the main control board if E11 persists.

E11 error appears and the unit will not heat above low temperatures.
