Common questions

Why is my air fryer rattling?

Usually it's not the motor. Most rattles come from loose parts vibrating against each other as the fan runs, most often around the basket and crisper plate.

Is a rattling air fryer dangerous?

A light rattle or buzz is usually harmless. A new grinding or scraping sound, a burning smell or a fan that slows down is different: stop using it and contact the maker.

Can I fix an air fryer rattle myself?

Often, yes. Find the source first, because each cause has a different fix. The book has a 4-step test and a fix that costs a few cents.
