Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before working on the timer.
- Inspect knob: Pull the timer knob straight off (if removable) and check for cracks. Replace if damaged.
- Access timer body: Remove the front panel screws to expose the mechanical timer. Ensure it is firmly mounted.
- Check operation: Turn the timer shaft by hand. If it feels gritty or does not tick, the internal mechanism is worn.
- Replacement: Mechanical timers are generally not serviceable; replace the timer with a compatible Swan part, transferring wires one by one to the new unit.
Do not lubricate the timer with household oils; they can attract dust and cause further failure.
