Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker. Unplug the air fryer and leave it unplugged until inspected.
Steps to investigate breaker tripping:
- 1. Try a different outlet: Use a different circuit with sufficient amperage to rule out an overloaded circuit (do not use extension cords).
- 2. Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage. Replace the cord if any defects are found.
- 3. Open housing: With the unit unplugged, remove the cover and inspect all wiring for melted insulation, burn marks, or loose strands touching metal.
- 4. Test heater and motor: Disconnect the heater and fan motor one at a time and test the unit (briefly) to see if the breaker still trips. The component that causes tripping when connected is likely shorted and should be replaced.
- 5. Inspect main PCB: Look for burnt components or solder bridges. Replace the board if damaged.
Warning: If you are not experienced with electrical diagnostics, contact a qualified technician; short circuits can be dangerous.
