Possible Causes

Damaged non‑stick coating causing gaps, Cracked drawer pan, Overfilled basket with excess oil, Missing or damaged drip tray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before cleaning spilled oil to avoid burns.

Steps to address leaking:

  • Check fill level: Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended maximum fill line in the Pro Breeze basket. Avoid adding large amounts of liquid or oil directly.
  • Inspect drawer and basket: Remove and wash the basket and drawer. Check for cracks, warping, or holes in the drawer pan and around the corners.
  • Verify drip tray: Some models include a removable drip tray. Ensure it is installed correctly and not missing.
  • Replace damaged parts: If the drawer or basket is cracked or the non‑stick layer is flaking to the point of leaking, replace the entire drawer/basket assembly.
  • Clean interior: Wipe any oil from the interior base of the unit to prevent smoking and odors.

Warning: Do not operate the air fryer with a cracked drawer; hot oil leaks can cause burns and damage surfaces.
