How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before extended handling.

Reset procedure:

  • Hard reset: Unplug the air fryer for at least 15 minutes. Press and hold the power/start button for 10 seconds while unplugged to discharge residual power (if accessible).
  • Check buttons: Inspect the control panel for stuck or damaged buttons. Gently press each button several times to ensure free movement.
  • Try a different mode: After reconnecting power, select a different preset or manual temperature/time setting to see if the error clears.

Internal inspection (advanced):

  • Access control board: Remove the control panel cover to inspect the main PCB.
  • Look for damage: Check for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or moisture on the board. Dry any condensation and clean light residue with isopropyl alcohol.
  • Reconnect harnesses: Reseat all wiring harnesses to the board, including sensors, fan, and heater connectors.

Next steps: If ERR remains after reset and connector checks, the control board is likely defective and should be replaced as a complete assembly.
