Air fryers can create crispy goodness in just 30 minutes (in some cases) by using convection, which circulates hot air to cook the food and create a crispy layer on the outside. Along with most electrical appliances, there can sometimes be mechanical issues. For instance, what do you do when it keeps turning off?
If your air fryer keeps turning off, check the power connection or reset the breaker. Secondly, make sure there are no faulty components. The last thing you can do is send it off for repair or replace the machine entirely.
A common problem with air fryers is that they turn off soon after you start frying your food. This article will describe in detail a few things you can do to troubleshoot your air fryer, and how to prevent further mechanical issues.
Check the Power Cord Connection and Breaker
Sometimes a mechanical issue can be caused by something as simple as a faulty cord connection. The first thing you should check when you are having problems with your air fryer is the power cord.
Check to see if the cable is frayed or damaged in any place. This could contribute to a bad connection. Secondly, make sure the cord is inserted correctly in the plugin. It is very easy for a cord to become loose without anyone noticing.
If both the power cord and connection are good, you can also check the circuit breaker of that particular plugin. A circuit breaker either needs to be reset or repaired. Before you investigate the breaker, remember to plug a few appliances to the plugin you have been using to make sure that it is, in fact, the plugin and not your air fryer that is the issue.
Make Sure There Are No Faulty Components
Another thing you can also do if your air fryer is not working properly is to check all of the individual parts of the air fryer to make sure nothing is damaged. Things to look for are loose parts, cracks in the equipment, or even missing pieces (especially if you have moved the air fryer multiple times).
Something else that could be affecting the performance of your air fryer is a faulty door. After a few weeks or months of use, the air fryer door can become loose. This means that the door isn’t closing and clicking into place, which will prevent the air fryer from working correctly. If this happens to be the problem, check out this two-minute video below to fix it in only a few seconds:
Contact Customer Service or Send It In for Repair Locally
Sometimes there is just nothing you can do yourself to fix the machine. There are only so many things you can check before you realize the problem is something that is not detectable and easily fixed. Or, you have found the root of the problem but do not have the proper knowledge to fix it yourself. If your machine is still under warranty, simply call the company and send it in for repair or for a replacement.
If the machine is not under warranty anymore, you can still send it for repair. Make sure to do some research and send it to a reliable repair company. Another thing to consider when researching repair companies is to weigh the cost of repairing with the price of a new air fryer. It might be worth buying a whole new machine if it will end up costing you over $100 to get repairs.
If you are looking for a new air fryer machine, check out the COSORI Air Fryer,Max XL 5.8 Quart Air Fryer. This machine is easy to operate, has an affordable price, and is one of the most popular choices out there.
Read the Air Fryer Instructional Manual
Mechanical problems can stem from the misuse of a machine. Air fryers can be confusing to operate for the first time, which is why reading the instruction manual is vital. The product manuals will have a complete diagram of the machine as well an entire page(s) dedicated to safety rules.
Additionally, the manual will have an extensive list of how to properly operate the machine, which will prevent damage due to misuse of the product. Lastly, there may be a solution to the problem you are having in the manual itself.
Prevent Further Operational Problems by Taking Care of Air Fryer
An excellent way to prevent operational problems with your machine is to take care of the air fryer. Air fryers can be messy, especially if you decide to use oil. Even without oil, the fryer will have leftover food residue and grease after every use.
These five easy steps will describe how to properly clean your air fryer, which is easier than you probably think. Let’s get cleaning!
Unplug the air fryer and let it cool down. Never attempt to clean when it is hot or still plugged in, as this could be very dangerous.
Wipe the outside of the machine with a hot, wet washcloth. You can spray vinegar on your washcloth to remove unwanted bacteria from the outside of the machine.
Clean the removable, inside components. To clean the inside components, hand wash them with hot water and soap. You can also put them in the dishwasher.
Use your tablecloth to wipe down the inside components that can’t be removed. Make sure to use a brush for the heating area above the basket.
Make sure all of the removable components are completely dry before putting the parts back into the air fryer. (This will include the pan, basket, and tray.)
If you follow these steps after every use, your air fryer will last longer and will have fewer mechanical problems.
Practice Proper Maintenance Before Each Use
On top of cleaning your machine consecutively, you should also practice proper machine maintenance to prevent operational issues and to ensure a long life. Before every use, make sure that all of the components are clean and are not damaged. These components will include the cord, basket, tray, and pan.
Secondly, make sure the appliance is on a level surface and is at least four inches from the wall and from any shelving above it. Another thing to remember, especially if you have not used the machine in a while, is to make sure that there is no food (or dust) in the basket.
Last but not least, make sure the machine and the counter around it are completely dry. Air fryers are electrical machines, and any contact with water could end with damage or even injury.
One last tip to remember is whenever you see smoke coming from the air fryer (which is a common problem), simply add a tablespoon of water or make sure to use less oil.
Can air fryer overheat and shut off?
Yes, it can. This could be the result of one or more of the following reasons:
Air fryer bagels can be ordered, either in an air fryer or oven. You will need to use whatever kind of bagel recipe you normally use to make regular bagels. However, you simply need to pour the batter into the air fryer in order for them to work. Then you will have to bake them longer at a temperature that is lower than what you normally would have used and which is what you usually do with regular bagels. There are two types of air cookers when it comes to making panini’s and other breakfast sandwiches: convection and infrared.
Why did my instant Vortex air fryer stop working?
The Vortex air fryer was designed to be a quick and easy way to cook food at home. However, like any other appliance, it can break down on occasion and may stop working completely. Most of the time it is because of a loose door hinge or a venting issue in which the air outlet can be blocked. When this happens, you need to move quickly to find out exactly what the problem is.
I have an older version of the Instant Vortex Air Fryer, what should I do?
If your machine is at least 10 years old make sure your electrical outlet can handle more power than you are using. If that’s not possible you need another outlet to plug into that will provide enough power. The outlet may have trouble with too much power. If you can’t get enough power to the outlet, then it may be because of a loose door hinge or a blocked venting issue. After that there is usually no need for the extra power, so feel free to use it if you still have the issue with your machine.
What do you do when your air fryer stops working?
The first thing to do is check if the machine works properly. The most common problem with older air fryers is a loose door hinge, but this can be fixed by loosening the screws and attaching them again. Another solution is to put a block of wood on top of the air outlet to make sure that it does not get blocked.

How do you reset an air fryer?
When an air fryer stops working, you must reset it. The first step is to find out what the problem is. For example, if the air fryer does not work anymore because of a loose door hinge or a blocked venting issue then you have to go and take care of this first. If after doing this your air fryer still does not work then it is time for the diagnosis. After doing all of the steps above, you can go and try to reset your air fryer again by following these steps:
At first, make sure that both plugs are connected properly at different power outlets so that when one turns off, both turn on again. If this fix does not solve the problem, then you may want to consult with the manufacturer of your air fryer. If you do not have any contact information with you or are unable to find it, then call 1-888-699-7143 for some free advice.
How can I tell if my air fryer is working?
The best way is to disconnect your air fryer from the power source and check if it will work when it is unplugged. Then plug it back in and turn on one of the switches. Then if it works, be sure that both plugs are connected properly at different power outlets so that when one turns off, both turn on again. If this fix does not solve the problem, then you may want to consult with the manufacturer of your air fryer. If you do not have any contact information with you or are unable to find it, then call 1-888-699-7143 for some free advice.
Do I have to clean my air fryer after every use?
Yes, it is recommended to clean your air fryer after every use to keep it in good shape. The good thing about cleaning the air fryer is that you do not have to take out all of the parts and wash them, it is done automatically with the use of a wet wipe or dishrag.
How should I store my air fryer?
It is recommended for you to store the machine in an area which keeps the temperature and humidity at a constant level so that your air fryer will not break easily. The best way for you to store your air fryer is by putting in a drawer where there are no other appliances exposed and where the temperature stays between 60°F and 70°F.
If your air fryer keeps turning off, there are a few things you can do. The first thing you can check is the power cord connection. Make sure it is securely plugged in and that there is no damage to the cord. Secondly, you can reset the breaker if it is a problem with the plugin.
If there is nothing visible that is wrong after you check the integrity of the individual components (or if there is something obvious that needs to be repaired), call the air fryer company if your product is still under warranty. If the product is not under warranty, send it to a reliable repair company or purchase a new air fryer.
