Safety first: Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool fully. Internal heater wiring carries dangerous voltage.

Confirm symptom: Start a short cycle and check if the fan runs but no heat is felt at the exhaust after 2–3 minutes. Then unplug.
Visual check: Remove the basket and inspect the heating element for breaks, sagging, or burn marks.
Access heater wiring: Remove the rear or bottom cover to expose the heating element terminals, thermal fuse, and wiring.
Check connections: Ensure all spade terminals are tight and not discolored. Reseat any loose connectors.
Test element and fuse: With a multimeter, test continuity across the heating element and the inline thermal fuse. Replace any open component with a matching Gourmia-rated part.
Control board check: If the heater and fuse are good but no voltage is supplied during operation, the heater relay on the main control board is likely faulty and the board should be replaced.

Air fryer powers on but does not heat; fan runs and timer counts down, food remains raw.
