Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening the housing. Avoid touching capacitors immediately after unplugging; they may hold charge.
Steps to correct dim or flickering display:
- Check outlet load: Avoid running the air fryer on the same circuit as other high‑power appliances (kettle, microwave). Try a different outlet.
- Inspect display cable: Remove the front/top cover and reseat the display ribbon cable on both the display and main PCB.
- Board inspection: Look for bulging or leaking capacitors on the control PCB. If present, replace the board.
- Replace display module: If only the display is affected and the rest of the unit works normally, replace the LED/LCD display module if available separately.
Warning: Persistent flickering may precede complete board failure; address promptly.
