How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool.
- Check temperature setting: Confirm a temperature above ambient is selected and not just a fan or keep-warm mode.
- Listen for relay: Start a cycle and listen for a click from inside. No click may indicate a control issue.
- Inspect heater visually: With basket removed, look at the heater for breaks or burn marks.
- Service required: If the fan runs but there is no heat, the heater circuit (element, thermal fuse, or relay) must be tested and repaired.
Warning: Heater circuit work involves high voltage. Seek professional service if unsure.
