Here are the most common problems our customers experience. Your air fryer won't power up, display stays blank, or it suddenly stopped working. This often indicates electrical issues like a blown fuse, faulty power cord, or internal circuit board failure. Sometimes safety mechanisms prevent startup if the basket isn't properly inserted. Food comes out undercooked or the unit runs but doesn't produce heat. The heating element may be damaged, burnt out, or covered in grease buildup. Temperature sensor failures can also cause this. Your air fryer might display an error code or overheat protection may be triggered. You hear rattling, grinding, or the fan isn't spinning at all. The convection fan is essential for air circulation and crispy results. Loose screws, debris in the fan blades, worn bearings, or a failed motor are common culprits. Without proper airflow, food won't cook properly. Buttons don't respond, touchscreen is unresponsive, or display shows error codes. Grease buildup, moisture damage, or electronic component failure can affect the control panel. Digital displays may flicker, show incorrect information, or go completely dark while other functions still work. Unit shuts down unexpectedly during cooking or displays overheat warnings. Blocked air vents, excessive grease accumulation, or a malfunctioning thermal cutoff switch trigger safety mechanisms. This prevents damage but stops you from completing your meal. Regular occurrence indicates a repair is needed. Timer doesn't count down, gets stuck, or shows inaccurate time remaining. The air fryer may run continuously or stop prematurely. This can be caused by control board issues, button malfunctions, or software glitches. Makes it impossible to properly time your cooking and could lead to burnt food. Not sure if repair makes sense?

If something goes wrong, we'll make it right at no extra cost. Extend the life of your air fryer and prevent costly repairs with these simple maintenance practices. Always clean the basket, tray, and interior after cooking. Let it cool first, then wash with warm soapy water. Grease buildup is the #1 cause of heating and fan problems. Remove the basket and tray for dishwasher cleaning if they're dishwasher-safe. Leave space for air circulation around food. Overcrowding blocks airflow, causes uneven cooking, and forces your air fryer to work harder. This strains the heating element and fan motor. Cook in batches if needed for best results and longer appliance life. Blocked vents cause overheating and trigger automatic shutoff. Wipe down exterior vents with a dry cloth monthly to remove dust and debris. Ensure your air fryer has at least 5 inches of clearance on all sides when operating. Never place it against walls or under cabinets. Only use parchment paper or silicone liners designed for air fryers. Regular parchment can block airflow or even catch fire. Avoid aluminum foil unless your manual specifically approves it. Never use plastic containers, paper towels, or anything not heat-rated to 400°F. Check the power cord monthly for fraying, cracks, or damage. Replace damaged cords immediately - don't tape or patch them. Plug directly into wall outlets, not extension cords, as air fryers draw significant power. Unplug when not in use and never yank the cord when unplugging.

Repair is worth it if you have a premium brand (like Ninja Foodi or Philips) worth $150+, the unit is less than 3 years old, or it's a simple fix under $150. Large-capacity or dual-basket models are especially worth repairing since they're expensive to replace.
