Basket does not lock securely; may pop out slightly during cooking.

Safety first: Unplug and let the unit cool before working on the latch.

Inspection:

• Examine the basket handle and latch hook for cracks or wear.
• Check the latch receiver inside the air fryer body for damage or misalignment.

Repair:

• Replace the basket handle and latch assembly if the hook is worn or broken.
• Adjust the latch receiver if possible, or replace the front frame / latch bracket if damaged.
• Ensure the basket slides fully in and clicks into place before starting a cycle.
