Possible Causes
Loose fan blade on motor shaft, Debris caught in fan guard, Worn fan motor bearings, Bent fan blade contacting shroud
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before touching the fan or internal parts.
- Step 1 – Inspect from inside: Remove the basket and drawer. Look up at the fan guard for any loose screws or debris. Remove any visible food pieces or foil.
- Step 2 – Access fan assembly: Remove the top cover to expose the convection fan blade and motor.
- Step 3 – Check blade tightness: Ensure the fan blade nut or screw is tight on the motor shaft. Tighten carefully without over-torquing.
- Step 4 – Inspect for contact: Spin the fan by hand and listen for scraping. Adjust the fan position or gently straighten bent blades so they clear the shroud.
- Step 5 – Replace motor: If noise persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, replace the convection fan motor (often supplied with blade).
Warning: Do not operate the unit with a scraping or grinding fan; it can seize and cause overheating.
