Air fryer produces a rattling noise as if something is loose inside when moved or during operation.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before shaking or opening it. Do not operate if you suspect loose metal parts near live wiring.

Steps to eliminate rattling:

• Locate noise: Gently shake the cool, unplugged air fryer and listen for the location of the rattle (top, bottom, side).
• Open housing: Remove the appropriate cover (top/bottom) to inspect inside. Look for loose screws, clips, or broken plastic pieces.
• Tighten hardware: Tighten screws on the fan motor, heating element brackets, and heat shields.
• Remove debris: Remove any foreign objects or broken parts that are not critical to safety. Replace any broken heat shields or structural parts.

Warning: Do not leave loose metal parts inside; they can cause shorts or block the fan.
