How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker. Unplug the air fryer and leave it unplugged until inspected.

Checks (experienced users):

  • Inspect the power cord for damage.
  • Open the housing and inspect heater wiring and main board for burn marks or melted insulation.
  • Test the heater for continuity to ground using a multimeter; any reading indicates a ground fault.

Replace the heating element assembly if it is shorted to ground. Replace damaged wiring or the main control board if internal components are shorted. If moisture is suspected, allow the unit to dry thoroughly in a warm, dry place for 24–48 hours before retesting.
