Possible Causes

Damaged non-stick coating and cracks in cooking pan, Warped or bent drawer, Worn silicone gasket between basket and drawer, Overfilled basket with excessive oil or marinade

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and let it cool before handling hot oil or liquids.

  • Step 1 – Inspect basket and drawer: Remove both and check for visible cracks, warping, or holes in the non-stick pan. Pay attention to corners and seams.
  • Step 2 – Check gasket: Some Moulinex models use a silicone or rubber gasket between the inner basket and outer drawer. Inspect for tears, flattening, or missing sections.
  • Step 3 – Clean mating surfaces: Clean the rim of the basket and drawer so they seat properly. Food residue can prevent a good seal.
  • Step 4 – Replace damaged parts: Replace the cooking pan/basket assembly or gasket if any structural damage is found. Do not attempt to seal cracks with glue; it is unsafe at cooking temperatures.
  • Step 5 – Adjust usage: Avoid overfilling with oil or very liquid marinades. Use a separate tray or foil insert as recommended by Moulinex to catch drips.
