How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool fully before further use.
- Improve ventilation: Move the air fryer to an open area with at least 10 cm clearance on all sides and above.
- Clean vents and interior: Remove dust and grease from all vents and the internal air path.
- Check fan operation: Ensure the fan runs whenever the heater is on. Replace the fan motor if it stops intermittently.
- Test thermal cut‑out: If the unit trips at relatively low internal temperatures, the thermal cut‑out may be overly sensitive or failing. Replace the thermal fuse or thermostat with the correct Morphy Richards part.
