E5 appears on the display and the unit shuts off shortly after starting.

Safety: Unplug the air fryer and let it cool. Do not insert fingers near the fan blades.

• Check for fan operation: When you start a cycle (before unplugging), listen for the fan. If you hear no airflow or grinding, a fan issue is likely.
• Inspect for obstructions:
  • Remove basket and pan.
  • Look up toward the top of the cooking cavity; check if any food debris, parchment paper, or foil is stuck in the fan guard.
  • Gently remove any obstruction with long tweezers.
• Access the fan (advanced):
  • Remove the back or top cover to expose the fan motor assembly.
  • Try spinning the fan blade by hand; it should rotate freely without scraping.
  • If stiff or jammed, the motor bearings may be seized and the motor should be replaced.
• Check wiring:
  • Inspect the fan motor connector where it plugs into the main control PCB.
  • Reseat any loose connectors and check for burnt pins.
• Replace parts: If the fan does not run even with free blades and good connections, replace the fan motor assembly. If a new motor does not resolve E5, the main control PCB fan driver is likely defective.
