Possible Causes

Loose or damaged fan blade, Foreign object in fan housing, Worn fan motor bearings, Loose mounting screws on fan or heater assembly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the Proscenic air fryer and allow moving parts to stop completely before inspection.

Steps to reduce or eliminate noise:

  • 1. Identify noise source: Run the unit briefly and listen to determine if the noise comes from the top, rear, or bottom. Then unplug.
  • 2. Check for loose items: Remove the basket and drawer. Inspect for loose accessories or food pieces that may contact the fan or heater.
  • 3. Access the fan assembly: Remove the top or rear cover to expose the fan. Check that the fan nut or screw is tight and that the blades are not bent or cracked.
  • 4. Remove debris: Clear any foreign objects or heavy grease deposits from around the fan and heater.
  • 5. Check motor bearings: Spin the fan by hand. If it feels rough, wobbly, or makes grinding sounds, the motor bearings are worn and the fan motor should be replaced.
  • 6. Tighten mounts: Tighten all screws securing the fan bracket, heater plate, and internal panels to reduce vibration.
  • 7. Reassemble and test: After adjustments or motor replacement, reassemble and run a test cycle to confirm noise reduction.

Warning: Do not operate the air fryer with the fan guard removed; risk of injury from moving blades.
