Possible Causes
Unbalanced fan blade, Missing or damaged rubber feet, Loose internal mounting screws, Fan blade contaminated with heavy grease on one side
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before handling or moving it for inspection.
Steps to reduce vibration:
- 1. Check placement: Ensure the air fryer is on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it on uneven or soft surfaces.
- 2. Inspect rubber feet: Turn the unit over and confirm all rubber feet are present and intact. Replace any missing or damaged feet.
- 3. Clean the fan: Access the fan assembly and clean any heavy grease buildup from the blades, which can cause imbalance.
- 4. Tighten internal screws: Check and tighten all screws securing the fan bracket, heater plate, and internal frame to the outer shell.
- 5. Inspect fan blade: If the fan blade is bent or cracked, replace the fan blade or the entire fan motor assembly.
- 6. Test operation: Reassemble the unit and run a test cycle. If vibration persists severely, the motor shaft may be bent, and the motor should be replaced.
Warning: Excessive vibration can damage internal wiring over time; address this issue promptly.
