Possible Causes

Failed low-voltage power supply on control board, Shorted component on PCB, Surge-damaged microcontroller, Loose power connector to control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer. Internal capacitors can hold charge; avoid touching bare solder joints.

  • Step 1 – Power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes to allow internal capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and test.
  • Step 2 – Inspect power cord and plug: Check for damage, burns, or loose prongs. Try a different outlet to rule out supply issues.
  • Step 3 – Access control board: Remove the top or rear cover to expose the main control board. Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or darkened areas on the PCB.
  • Step 4 – Check connectors: Ensure the main AC input connector and low-voltage harnesses are fully seated on the board.
  • Step 5 – Replace board: If visible damage is present or E8 persists despite good connections and stable power, replace the main control board assembly with a compatible Vida by PADERNO part.

Warning: Board-level repairs (component soldering) should only be attempted by qualified electronics technicians due to shock and fire risks.
