Possible Causes

Restricted airflow, Weak circulation fan, Oversensitive thermal cutoff, Excessive ambient temperature around unit

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool fully before inspection.

Ventilation:

Ensure the air fryer has adequate clearance on all sides and is not used under low cabinets where heat accumulates.

Internal checks:

Clean the fan, heater shield, and vents to restore airflow.
Test the circulation fan motor for proper operation.
Check the thermal cutoff for signs of heat damage; if it trips prematurely, replace it.
