Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before attempting any reset procedures that involve opening the housing.
- Extended power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 30 minutes to allow full discharge of internal capacitors. Plug back in and check if the error clears.
- Factory reset (if available): Consult the Severin manual for a factory reset key combination (often holding specific buttons while plugging in). Perform the reset to reload default parameters.
- Surge protection: If the error followed a power surge, connect the air fryer through a quality surge protector and test again. However, damage may already have occurred.
- Board replacement: If E10 persists and no reset procedure is documented, the EEPROM or microcontroller on the main PCB is likely defective. Replace the main control PCB as a complete unit.
Warning: Do not attempt to reprogram firmware without official Severin tools and files; incorrect firmware can render the unit unsafe.
