Possible Causes

Loose harness between power board and UI board, Electrical noise from failing component, Defective microcontroller on either board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer.

Harness check:

  • Open the housing to access both the main power/control board and the UI/display board.
  • Inspect the multi-pin harness connecting the boards. Reseat both ends and ensure locking tabs engage.
  • Look for signs of arcing or discoloration on the connector pins.

Board replacement:

  • If reseating the harness does not clear E15, one of the boards is likely defective. In most cases, replacing the main control board is the first step.
  • If the problem persists after replacing the main board, replace the UI board as well.
