Possible Causes
Failed fan motor, Obstruction in fan blades, Disconnected fan wiring, Faulty fan driver on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and let it cool. Do not operate the fryer without a working fan.
- Step 1 – Confirm symptom: Start a cycle and listen for fan noise (then unplug). If silent and no airflow is felt, the fan is not running.
- Step 2 – Check for obstructions: Inspect the fan area for stuck food or foil. Remove any debris.
- Step 3 – Test motor: Access the fan motor and test resistance across its terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
- Step 4 – Wiring and PCB: Verify the fan connector is firmly seated on the PCB. If the motor is good but never receives voltage during operation, the PCB fan driver is likely faulty and the board should be replaced.
