This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains and allow the unit to cool. Avoid touching the heater area immediately after use.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure the air fryer is not placed under low cabinets or against walls. Provide at least 10–15 cm clearance above and behind.
- Clean internal dust: Open the housing and gently blow out dust from the control PCB and around the fan using compressed air. Do not spin the fan excessively with air pressure.
- Check PCB sensor: Some Severin boards have a small NTC or thermal sensor near power components. Verify it is firmly attached and not bent away from the board. If cracked or dislodged, replace the main control PCB.
- Verify fan airflow: Confirm that the convection fan is running at full speed during operation. A weak fan can cause heat buildup in the upper housing.
Warning: Persistent E9 errors after cleaning and ensuring ventilation may indicate a failing control board; continued use could damage the appliance.
