How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before inspection.
- Step 1 – Confirm symptom: Start a short cycle and listen closely. If you do not hear the usual fan noise, unplug immediately.
- Step 2 – Check for obstructions: Inspect the fan guard from inside the cooking cavity for stuck food or foreign objects.
- Step 3 – Access fan motor: Remove the top cover to reach the convection fan motor. Try spinning the fan by hand; it should move freely.
- Step 4 – Inspect wiring: Ensure the motor connector is firmly attached at both the motor and control board.
- Step 5 – Replace components: Replace a seized or non-functional convection fan motor. If the motor is good but never receives power, replace the main control board.
Warning: Do not continue using the air fryer without a working fan; this can cause severe overheating.
