Possible Causes

Failed convection fan motor, Jammed fan blades due to debris, Disconnected fan motor wiring, Faulty fan driver circuit on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Do not operate the air fryer without a working fan.

Checks:

  • Look through the top screen while the unit is running (briefly) to see if the fan spins. If not, stop use immediately.
  • With power disconnected, try spinning the fan blades gently with a wooden stick. They should rotate freely.

Repair steps:

  • Remove the top cover to access the convection fan motor and blades.
  • Clean off any grease or food debris that may be obstructing the fan.
  • Check the motor wiring connector and reseat it on the control board.
  • Test the motor windings for continuity. Replace the fan motor assembly if open or seized.
  • If the motor tests good but never receives voltage during operation, the fan driver circuit or relay on the main control board may be defective and require board replacement.
