Possible Causes
Seized fan motor, Fan motor winding open or shorted, Obstruction preventing fan rotation, Failed fan driver circuit on main PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool. Moving parts and live circuits can be hazardous.
- Step 1 – Listen for fan: Start a cycle with an empty basket (briefly) and listen. If the fan is silent or makes a humming noise without spinning, there is likely a fan issue.
- Step 2 – Check for obstructions: With the unit unplugged, access the fan from the rear or top (depending on model). Look for loose screws, warped plastic, or food debris blocking the blades. Remove any obstruction and ensure the fan spins freely by hand.
- Step 3 – Test motor windings: Disconnect the fan motor connector from the PCB. Measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open circuit (OL) or very low resistance indicates a bad motor. Replace the fan motor assembly.
- Step 4 – Inspect driver circuit: If the motor tests good, the fan driver (triac or transistor) on the main PCB may have failed. Look for burnt components. Replace the main control board if necessary.
- Step 5 – Reassemble and test: After repairs, reassemble all covers securely before powering on.
