How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and let it dry completely if moisture reaches the control area.
- Step 1 – Improve ventilation: Ensure the air fryer has adequate clearance and that exhaust vents are not blocked.
- Step 2 – Inspect panel seals: Check the gasket or seal around the control panel for gaps or damage. Replace the control panel gasket if available for your model.
- Step 3 – Dry thoroughly: Allow the unit to sit unplugged in a warm, dry area for 24 hours before reuse.
- Step 4 – Avoid excessive moisture: Pat foods dry before cooking and avoid adding water directly into the basket.
