Possible Causes
Partially blocked fan or air channels, Warped or incorrectly installed crisper tray, Overloaded basket, Weak fan motor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before internal cleaning.
User-level adjustments:
- Do not overfill the basket; leave space for air to circulate.
- Shake or turn food halfway through cooking for more even results.
- Ensure the crisper tray is properly seated and not blocking airflow holes.
Internal checks:
- Inspect the fan and air channels for grease buildup or obstructions and clean as needed.
- If the fan speed seems low or airflow is weak, the fan motor may be failing.
Corrective action:
- Clean internal airflow paths thoroughly.
- Replace a weak circulation fan motor if airflow cannot be restored.
