Air fryer vibrates excessively or "walks" on the countertop during use.

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.
