How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool. Do not operate the unit without a working fan, as this is a fire risk.

Check for obstructions: Look up into the cavity toward the fan. Remove any visible food debris or foreign objects with a non-metallic tool.
Spin test: With the unit unplugged, gently rotate the fan blades. If they do not spin freely, the motor or bearings are likely damaged and the fan assembly should be replaced.
Inspect wiring: Access the fan motor from the top or rear. Ensure the connector is firmly attached and wires are intact.
Motor replacement: If the fan is seized or does not run even when supplied with power (advanced testing), replace the fan motor assembly with a compatible Tower part.
Do not bypass: Never bypass the fan or operate the air fryer without it. Overheating and fire can result.

Air fryer fan does not run (no airflow noise) but heater may still get hot.
