Possible Causes

Warped or unbalanced fan blade, Loose internal mounting screws, Uneven countertop or missing rubber feet, Fan motor shaft bent from impact

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before moving or opening the unit.

  • Check placement: Ensure the fryer sits flat on a stable, level surface. Confirm all rubber feet are present and intact.
  • Inspect basket load: Overloading or unevenly loading the basket can increase vibration. Distribute food evenly and avoid exceeding capacity.
  • Internal inspection: Remove the cover and check that the fan motor, heater bracket, and internal panels are firmly screwed down.
  • Fan blade condition: Examine the fan for cracks or missing pieces. Replace the fan blade if damaged or warped.
  • Motor shaft: If the fan wobbles significantly even when properly mounted, the motor shaft may be bent and the motor should be replaced.
