How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer and wait for all moving parts to stop before inspection.

Steps to reduce fan noise:

Initial check: Listen to identify if the noise is scraping, rattling, or humming. Scraping often indicates contact with the shroud.
Access fan: Remove the top or rear cover to expose the fan blade and motor.
Remove debris: Clear any loose screws, food particles, or foil pieces from the fan area.
Tighten blade: Ensure the fan blade is firmly secured to the motor shaft. Tighten any retaining nut or screw.
Straighten shroud: Gently bend any deformed metal or plastic shroud away from the blade to restore clearance.
Replace motor: If the motor has excessive play or grinding bearings, replace the convection fan motor.

Fan is very noisy, rattling, or scraping during operation.
