How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before inspection. Do not operate on unstable surfaces.
- Check placement:
- Ensure the fryer is on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface.
- Verify all rubber feet are present and intact.
- Inspect fan (advanced):
- Remove the top/rear cover.
- Check the fan blade for damage or missing pieces; replace if unbalanced.
- Tighten all screws securing the fan motor and heater assembly.
- Check motor shaft:
