Nuwave air fryer display flickers, dims, or resets randomly during cooking.

Safety First: Unplug the unit before opening the housing. Avoid using damaged outlets or extension cords.

Step-by-step checks:

• Direct wall outlet: Plug the air fryer directly into a wall outlet, avoiding power strips or extension cords that may cause voltage drop.
• Check plug fit: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. If it is loose, try a different outlet.
• Inspect cord and plug: Look for heat discoloration or deformation on the plug blades, which can indicate poor contact.
• Internal connectors (advanced): With the unit unplugged and cover removed, reseat all connectors on the main control board, especially the power input and display harness.
• Board inspection: Look for bulging or leaking capacitors on the control board. These can cause unstable voltage and flickering displays.
• Replace board: If capacitors are visibly damaged or flickering persists after reseating connectors, replace the main control board.

Note: Frequent power interruptions can also be caused by an overloaded household circuit; ensure the air fryer is not sharing a circuit with other high-wattage appliances.
