Midea Fan Motor Bearing Wear

High‑pitched squealing noise when the air fryer is running.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Dry or worn fan motor bearings, Misaligned fan shaft, Fan blade rubbing due to heat‑warped shroud

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before inspection.

Step 1 – Confirm source: Remove the basket and run briefly to confirm the squeal comes from the fan area.
Step 2 – Check for rubbing: Inspect the fan shroud and blades for contact marks. Adjust the shroud or replace warped parts.
Step 3 – Motor replacement: If the squeal persists and the shaft has noticeable play, replace the fan motor. Lubrication is usually a temporary fix and not recommended near food areas.
