Basket does not lock securely; it feels loose or may fall out when pulled.

Safety: Do not operate the air fryer with an insecure basket; hot contents could spill.

Steps:

• 1. Inspect latch: Examine the basket handle and latch area for cracked or missing plastic tabs.
• 2. Check cavity catch: Look inside the unit where the basket locks in; ensure the catch is not broken or worn smooth.
• 3. Replace basket assembly: If the latch on the basket is damaged, replace the entire basket/handle assembly.
• 4. Professional repair: If the internal catch is broken, internal parts may need replacement, which often requires disassembling the front frame.
