Possible Causes

Cracked drawer or basket, Overfilled basket with oily foods, Missing or damaged drip tray, Misaligned inner basket in dual-basket models

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning spilled oil.

  • Inspect for cracks: Remove the drawer and basket. Check for visible cracks or holes in the plastic or metal surfaces.
  • Check drip tray: Ensure the drip tray (if fitted) is properly seated and not warped or missing.
  • Avoid overfilling: Do not exceed the maximum fill line, especially with fatty foods that release oil. Excess oil can overflow the basket.
  • Replace damaged parts: If cracks or warping are found, replace the drawer or basket assembly. Do not attempt to repair with glue, as it may not be heat-safe.
