You have it almost right, but see my comment bellow for how to fix it safely. Thank you for the video.

[@DallasCanada]

@@rickkcir9959 Yes, thanks.

[@justme8274]

I was just about to throw mine out when I decided to google to see if anyone else has had this problem and thanks to people like you that make videos describing the problem and how to fix it I’m happy that it can be saved! Thanks 🙏 again for the very informative video! Have a blessed day!

[@aterack833]

Literally never throw anything out that isn’t a purely digital device (also dispose of those through the right channels, as hard to find as they may be) because worse case scenario you can convert it to be analog if you can’t get a replacement for the control board, and you can sell off parts if you can’t fix it at all, helping others fix it, also giving away images and video of the internals of things like this also help people because the manufacturers seem to never do so.

[@Mimi91719]

I was just getting ready to toss mine out when I decided to see if there was an in-line fuse! Thank you for this video because it saved me the trouble of taking mine apart to look!

[@christlelambert4113]

You are a lifesaver! Our Kalorik stopped working and we were bummed out. My hubby just took ours apart and this was the problem! Ordered some new fuses on Amazon and now waiting. Thank you SO MUCH Afro posting this video!

[@DallasCanada]

I know the feeling. I joined a FB group after it died and immediately found out the cause. I was just as thankful!

[@samuelturcotte3547]

Thank you so much!! Got my Kalorik 7 month ago and stopped working today while using it. Tested my fuse and this is the problem. Gonna get a remplacement fuse and replace it. I'm so happy that you made a video about that. Thank again!

[@boolaga]

First off, thanks for uploading this video! Before going online and searching for fuses to buy, check to see if the crimp on the fuse and the red wire is loose. The fuse itself might be fine. Tightening it saved me from waiting for the order to come in.

[@mjaycock]

thanks for this video, got the fuse next day from amazon, was an easy fix, brought my kalorik back from the dead.

[@Jamievedeen]

I’m having this exact same issue. Thanks for the info!

[@jonniegirl4809]

Wow, thank you! Getting the fuses from Amazon took a bit but this fix was simple and worked.

Thank you! I was ticked! I just bought it on Amazon and did the 20 minute burn at 500 like it said to. then tried one more time for good measure and it blew the second time I used it! But this is an easy fix thank you for posting!

[@livelovekelowna]

This was a great video. I followed it to the letter and wound up fixing our air fryer! Thanks a ton!

[@DallasCanada]

My pleasure! 🙂

[@aterack833]

Beyond testing, you should get a replacement of that fuse (and more clamps if you want to make things easy on yourself) and replace it, should be able to get a pack of 10 for less than $6 after shipping ($5.09 American in my case, shipped to Canada)

[@amberlya9390]

Thank you, mine has been a really useless paperweight for months and I just took it apart and this is the exact problem! I’ll just have to figure out how to install the fuse when the replacements come!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much for posting this! I think this will be useful for a lot of people. I suspected improper ventilation being the culprit in these situations where the inline thermal fuse blows.

[@aterack833]

Do not leave the thermal fuse away from the heat source, it’s whole purpose is to detect excessive heat beyond what the device should normally allow

[@rickkcir9959]

Awesome video, but you need to PUT IT BACK AGAINST THE HEAT exactly as you found it. It is like that for safety. It blows by being is the hottest spot and saves the electronics and your house from burning down by melting before anything else can get overheated. It will likely never get hot enough to save you if you remove it from its proper spot. Just be thankful it did its job and saved you when you blocked the vents, and allow the new one to do the same. Make sure you crimp it in like the original.

[@DallasCanada]

Yeah I decided to do that instead. Thanks for the comment as you are correct.

[@BeatlemaniaPAUL]

What if I drilled 5 1/4" holes above where that fuse sits, to allow more venting, would that make any difference?

[@buybuydandavis]

@@BeatlemaniaPAUL The point is not to prevent the fuse from blowing, it's to replace it with one that will equally protect from overheating. Hopefully the problem was just a fuse that blew too easily. If the oven is overheating *we want* the next fuse to blow too.

[@christopherdobbs3601]

Hey Rick, I agree with your assessment, but I think this could still be a design problem on the air fryer. The heating elements are located directly under where the fuse is clipped to on the chassis. Only a small air gap and thin piece of sheet metal separate them. Since the fuse is rated to 184C (363F) and the oven is capable of operating up to 500F (the elements likely gets hotter than this), then I assume this issue will reproduce itself unless a change is made. Unfortunately it is dangerous to put this decision in the consumer's hands, but it is clear there is a design issue with this product and I personally believe a higher rated fuse is required for this application.

[@rickkcir9959]

@@christopherdobbs3601 Hey Christopher. It is mounted there, where it is hottest, on purpose to ensure that the heat has not penetrated the skin of the oven even a little. The heat is supposed to stay in the oven box. The inner temp may be 500F, but there MUST be enough airflow in that outer jacket to keep that skin cool. If you put the unit n a corner or something, it will recirculate the already hot "cooling air" and pop the fuse. If you relocate or bypass the fuse then there is no protection for people who choose to choke off the vents because they didn't fully understand the instructions or intent of the designers. Not everyone will even read them. To be clear. If you put the unit where it can get cool air, that fuse will never trip as long as the fan is intact. If someone keeps fixing it and putting it back in that tiny corner where it will recirculate the heat exhaust, that fuse will blow, AS INTENDED, every time, over and over, and save your house. Please don't alter the design as it is doing exactly what it is supposed to. It ensures that even if YOU create a danger, which is the case if the fuse got hot enough to trip, the oven will refuse to burn your house down. Also, going above that circuit boards design temp renders the electronics unreliable. It was specifically chosen to keep the circuitry in spec. Once it overheats even once, it may be rendered dangerous.The brainbox must be kept in spec to not fry.

[@lindalowell9196]

Ok I got the fuse, cut out the old one but having issues with installing the new one since the metal crimps cannot seem to be removed. Do you know if you can purchase more crimps and where would you suggest?

[@priMARYlove1]

Hi. Thanks for making the video. Looks like something I can fix. Is your AF still working since you fixed it?

[@manuelrivera3663]

Thanks for the tip

[@erik5024]

Our air fryer was only a couple months old when it died. This fixed the issue, however I suspect this will happen again. I was able to re-use the original crimps, but the next time this happens I'll have to use new ones. Curious if a higher temp rated fuse might be better. It's obviously a safety issue, but there are ones at 192, 216, etc....

[@anthonyricci5380]

Thanks so much for the video! It was definitely the fuse for me. I checked with a multimeter to confirm and it checked out. When trying to pull out the fuse though, it was very difficult. The leads on both ends broke apart and now part of them are stuck into the two connectors on both sides. Any advice on how to MacGyver my way outta this one? Any hacks to reattach another fuse? Thinking I may need to just solder it on I guess? Thanks!

[@DallasCanada]

Thanks for your comment, I'm happy to help. One easy way is to just connect right to each metal end as is. I stripped some of the original red insulation off, threaded through and twisted around tight with pliers. Then wrapped with original white insulation. Done. Solder would work great👍

[@Slorbon]

My Kalorik Maxx comes on when plugged in however after I program it and than start it, it immediately loses all power and goes dark until I unplug and replug I wonder if it could be the same issue

[@DallasCanada]

The fuse arrived on March 26th and ran some tests then fried chicken. Success. :)

[@RWJSJG]

Do you have an update and a link to the fuse you bought?

[@thatbeme]

Thanks..

[@jjnolan6533]

Cheers sir you saved me a few hundred dollars 👍

[@danielwright957]

Thnks was wonder wht fuse to get

[@swrjs]

I found this thread after replacing the thermal fuse and having that fuse blow a few minutes into to a air fry test run. I guess something is causing the oven to get too hot. Wish I had saved the receipt, although it sounds likely that a replacement wouldn’t have lasted long either. Win some, loose some.

[@somewhereinagalaxyfarfaraway]

How does the paneling seperate at the edges where it looks to be crimped together as well as screws.

[@DallasCanada]

That part is a bit finicky. I think I used something flat like a screwdriver to bend the tabs a tiny bit as well as pry out. Wear work gloves as the edges are sharp.

[@buybuydandavis]

I bought one at an online auction for maybe $6 and replaced the fuse. Easy peasy. But I noticed an electrical spade tang labeled as ground on top of the fan at the top of the oven. Did yours have any wires connected to that? MIne has nothing.

My one week old new version stopped working. Second kalorik to give out in just a few weeks good air flow. I cut out the online fuse, do I need to replace it or can I use it without?

[@DallasCanada]

Replace it with a new fuse. There may be something else wrong with the machine as well and the fuse is the safe way to go to prevent a fire. Be safe! put everything back how you find it.

[@DallasCanada]

Also the fuse may be different in the newer models so make sure to use the exact same kind that's in that one.

[@RWJSJG]

Any links for the fuses on Amazon

[@hollyhall1429]

I returned one and it happened again! Can you tell me what kind of fuse I need to order? I'm positive this is the issue

[@lorneskinner9338]

I had the exact same problem with mine and took the fuse pot for replacement but misplaced it. I wonder if you could tell me what fuse you ordered so I get the correct one

[@DallasCanada]

Hi, yes the inline thermal fuse from my machine read as follows; RY184 TF 184 Degree Celsius 10A 250V

[@CarmenBranje]

It's a thermal fuse?

[@somewhereinagalaxyfarfaraway]

@@CarmenBranje yes it would be a heat sensitive fuse. It's designed to let go so the unit doesn't cause a fire if it gets overheated. Another way to prevent this is to place a small deal fan near the intake fan side of the appliance. Helps with air flow.

[@cotto887]

how come we don't see the fuse being replaced?

[@diane4071]

Would this work for correcting overheating plug? The plug gets so hot I can't even touch it.

[@DallasCanada]

This will not solve the overheating outlet. You need to figure out your home's electrical system and or upgrade. You may need an electrician. Google overheating outlet. Prevent a potential fire. Be safe.

[@rhondataylor7375]

Apparently, this is a design flaw as it should not keep happening. I am awaiting #5 (Maxx) in less than a year!! Kalorik needs to re-engineer this model. Customers should not have to continually replace fuses. I have another brand, oven with grill feature, that has NEVER quit on me. Thanks for your video though--very helpful!

What's the other brand you have?!😄

Great video, probably saved some people a $120 service repair cost. Do wish you had made video completely around appliance with cover off( any chance of schematic or service info inside cabinet?} No info on line that I can find. My new Max cooks way faster towards the back 2 corners.

Ahh yes the fused hot-lead trick! I've fixed lots of things from radios, TV's appliances and guitar amplifiers with that simple little trick. I learned it in a hobby electronics class in high school. Another neat trick I learned is how to turn a pencil lead into a smoke bomb 🤣

I will do a video hopefully later this week. I ordered the fuse already and waiting for it to come in. Once the part comes I will do a video of what I did to trouble shoot the issue and show how I repair it. I will be sure to tag the original poster with credit that got me to the issue.
