Possible Causes

Failed LED/LCD display, Broken display ribbon cable, Partial main PCB failure leaving heater circuit stuck on manual mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit immediately. Operating without a working display can be unsafe because you cannot see settings or errors.

Steps to diagnose:

  • Check for backlight: In a dark room, plug in briefly and look for any faint glow behind the display. If none, the display or its power supply may be dead.
  • Inspect connections: Open the housing and check the ribbon cable between the display module and main PCB. Reseat firmly.
  • Examine display PCB: Look for cracks or burnt components on the display board.
  • Replace display or PCB: Replace the display/touch control panel. If the heater still runs uncontrollably, replace the main control PCB as well.

Warning: Do not continue using the air fryer if the heater can run without clear user control or visible feedback.
