Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on PCB, Faulty power cord, Failed main control board, Defective mains filter module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is unplugged before any inspection.

  • Check outlet and breaker: Test the wall socket with another appliance and verify the circuit breaker has not tripped.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. Gently wiggle the cord at the plug and at the entry to the fryer while plugged in (if safe) to see if power flickers; if so, replace the cord.
  • Internal fuse (advanced):
    • Remove the outer housing to access the main PCB.
    • Locate the small glass or ceramic fuse near the power input.
    • Check continuity; if blown, replace with the same type and rating only.
  • Further diagnosis: If the fuse blows again immediately, there is a short in the power supply or heater circuit that requires professional repair.
