Air fryer shuts off mid-cycle and loses all power; may restart after cooling.

Safety: Unplug the unit and let it cool fully before inspection.

• Improve ventilation:
  • Ensure at least 4 inches (10 cm) clearance around the fryer.
  • Do not operate under low cabinets or in confined spaces.
• Clean vents:
  • Use a soft brush and vacuum to clear dust and grease from rear and bottom vents.
• Check cord and plug:
  • Inspect for heat damage at the plug or cord entry.
• Internal checks (advanced):
  • Open the housing and inspect the main PCB for heat discoloration around connectors.
  • Tighten any loose spade connectors and reflow or replace burnt terminals.
  • Test the high-limit thermostat and thermal fuse; replace if weak or opening at too low a temperature.
• Replace PCB if needed: If all connections and safety devices are good but the unit still cuts out, the main control PCB may be overheating internally and should be replaced.
