Air Fryer Power XL not working

Is your switch working, but the machine is still not turning on/working?
Here's how to debug.

I'm going to let you know something... the fuse kept blowing because of the heating element. I took the relay off of the mother board and ran 3volts across it and it was fine. The fan is controlled by the relay. The fan clearly worked up until the fuse blew again. The fan, the relay and the fuse all worked - soooo, that left only one thing: the heating element as the culprit. The heating element is ONLY found on Alibaba..... ugh. You CANNOT find the heating element on Amazon OR at Lowe's/Home Depot. Because of the 90 degree angle, it's only available on Alibaba.

Can you provide link to heating element thanks!

I like the way you’ve explained small things which we technicians take for granted, in a layman approach for anyone to understand!

[@dadoobacha]

Enjoyed the way you mentioned checking the switch & being scared and also checking the micro switch using a “wooden stick” 😂😂😂😂😂

How did u remove the top housing of the unit to get to the motherboard/motor part?

[@alienheston5748]

Oh! Those were hard to get off! It's a "snap in" but needs to be squeezed in when removing. I think I broke one...

[@philrogers1758]

we have the type of power XL CM001 with a door not a drawer, I can't locate that fuse you are talking about,

[@TheLeonidas989]

So why are you using an axial fuse for a replacement instead of a thermal fuse? I am trying to understand why.

[@alienheston5748]

Go to DigiKey and look up the fuse. Look at the data sheet. It can withstand the requirements of an air fryer. I had a principal engineer that works with defibrillators on a daily help me pick the correct fuse.
