Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the air fryer before opening the control panel or touching any internal wiring.
Step-by-step checks:
- Power cycle: Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and see if E7 clears.
- Dry out moisture: If the air fryer was recently cleaned with excessive water or used under a range hood with heavy steam, let it sit unplugged in a dry, warm area for 24 hours, then retest.
- Inspect control connections (advanced): Remove the control panel cover and locate the ribbon cable or harness connecting the display/touch board to the main power board. Ensure all connectors are fully seated and free of corrosion.
- Look for damage: Check both boards for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or signs of liquid damage.
- Replace faulty board: If reseating cables and drying the unit does not clear E7, replace the main control board. In some cases, the display/touch control board may also need replacement if it shows visible damage.
Note: Firmware updates for Nuwave air fryers are generally not user-serviceable; board replacement is the typical remedy for persistent E7 errors.
