Possible Causes
Damaged non-stick drawer coating with pinholes, Warped or cracked drip pan, Overfilled basket causing overflow, Misaligned drawer not sealing properly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before handling hot oil or liquids.
Steps:
- 1. Inspect drawer and pan: Remove the basket and drip pan. Look for cracks, warping, or worn-through non-stick coating.
- 2. Check capacity: Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause grease to overflow into the base.
- 3. Clean seals and edges: Wipe the edges of the drawer and the mating surfaces in the cavity to ensure a proper fit.
- 4. Replace damaged parts: If the pan or drawer is cracked or warped, replace with the correct Sunbeam basket/pan assembly.
- 5. Inspect base: If oil has entered the base, remove the bottom cover and carefully clean out any residue to prevent odors and potential damage.
