Possible Causes

Misaligned basket not engaging microswitch, Broken door/basket microswitch, Bent switch actuator lever, Loose switch wiring harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before any disassembly.

Steps to resolve E7:

  • Check basket seating: Remove the basket and pan, then reinsert firmly until you hear or feel a click. Ensure no food debris is blocking the rails or latch.
  • Inspect latch mechanism: Examine the front latch area for broken plastic tabs or warped parts that may prevent the switch from being pressed.
  • Access microswitch: Remove the front or side panel (depending on model) to locate the basket/door microswitch. Verify that the actuator moves freely when the basket is inserted.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter in continuity mode across the switch terminals. The switch should change from open to closed when actuated. If it does not, replace the switch.
  • Secure wiring: Ensure the switch wires are firmly connected and not broken at the crimp terminals.
