Possible Causes

Weak internal power supply capacitor, Loose neutral or live connection on PCB, Overheating of power supply components, Defective main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer. The internal power supply operates at mains voltage; only experienced persons should work on it.

  • Step 1 – External checks: Confirm the wall outlet is stable and not shared with heavy‑load appliances that cause voltage dips.
  • Step 2 – Inspect PCB connections: Remove the housing and check that the mains input wires are firmly screwed or clipped into the PCB terminals.
  • Step 3 – Look for heat damage: Examine the area around the large capacitors and transformer (if present) for discoloration or bulging capacitors. Any bulging or leaking capacitor indicates a failing board.
  • Step 4 – Cooling: Ensure ventilation slots around the control area are not blocked by grease or dust. Clean gently with a dry brush.
  • Step 5 – Replace PCB: If E12 persists, replace the main control board; component‑level repair is not recommended for most users.
