Temperature seems inaccurate; food is undercooked or overcooked compared to the set temperature.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use an oven-safe thermometer to test temperature; avoid touching hot surfaces.
Steps to correct temperature inaccuracy:
- 1. Verify with thermometer: Place an oven thermometer in the basket, set the air fryer to a known temperature (e.g., 180°C/356°F), and compare readings after preheat.
- 2. Clean interior: Remove grease and debris from the heater area and fan guard to restore proper airflow.
- 3. Inspect sensor placement: Access the temperature sensor near the heater. Ensure it is firmly attached and positioned in the airflow, not touching the heater directly.
- 4. Replace sensor: If readings are consistently off by a large margin, replace the NTC temperature sensor with a Proscenic-compatible part.
- 5. Replace main PCB if needed: If a new sensor does not correct the issue, the control algorithm or ADC on the main PCB may be faulty; replace the board.
- 6. Adjust usage: Until repaired, you may compensate by adjusting set temperatures, but this is not a permanent fix.
Warning: Incorrect temperature can pose food safety risks; ensure meats reach safe internal temperatures.
