Possible Causes

Uneven countertop, Missing or hardened rubber feet, Imbalanced food load, Loose internal fan or motor mounts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep the unit away from edges to prevent it from falling. Unplug before moving or tilting.

  • Step 1 – Level the surface: Place the air fryer on a flat, stable surface. Avoid stove tops or uneven counters.
  • Step 2 – Check rubber feet: Inspect the bottom of the unit for missing or worn rubber feet. Replace if necessary to improve grip and damping.
  • Step 3 – Balance the load: Spread food evenly in the basket. Large, heavy items on one side can cause imbalance.
  • Step 4 – Internal check (advanced): If vibration persists, open the housing and verify that the fan, motor, and heater assemblies are securely mounted and that mounting screws are tight.
  • Step 5 – Replace damaged mounts: Cracked plastic mounts or brackets should be replaced to prevent further damage.
