How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the fryer before opening. Avoid using damaged outlets.

  • Step 1 – External power check: Plug the fryer into a different dedicated outlet, not shared with high-power devices like microwaves.
  • Step 2 – Inspect plug and cord: Check for heat marks or looseness at the plug. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Step 3 – Internal inspection: Remove the cover and inspect the PCB for bulging electrolytic capacitors or darkened areas. Reflow or repair cracked solder joints if you are qualified; otherwise replace the PCB.
  • Step 4 – Secure connectors: Reseat all connectors on the PCB to ensure good contact.
