Possible Causes
Warped or damaged cooking basket, Cracked drip tray or pan, Overfilled basket with high‑fat foods, Misaligned basket not seated fully in housing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before handling hot grease.
- Check fill level: Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum fill line, especially with fatty foods that release oil.
- Inspect basket and pan: Remove and wash the basket and any drip tray. Look for cracks, warping, or gaps in seams. Replace any damaged components.
- Check seating: Reinsert the basket fully until it clicks. A partially inserted basket can allow grease to run down the front and under the unit.
- Clean housing: Wipe any grease from the interior and underside of the fryer to prevent future drips and odors.
