I have a Kalorik Air Fryer, which I bought at Costco four years ago. Last week, during the process of air frying the fish sticks, it stopped working suddenly. No lights on. I thought it might be that the power breaker was triggered. So I went to the power panel, checked each breaker, and nothing wrong.
I check the receptacle of this air fryer. It is live.
Now, I confirmed that the air fryer had a problem.
The original idea is to get a new one, to replace it. After going to Walmart and Costco, I did not see anything that fit my needs. I just need a one-basket air fryer with a larger capacity.
At the end, I started to Google the solution. I saw a video that has a similar style. Followed the video and I disassembled it.
Give a close look at the switch.
I tried to press the button, but there was no click sound.
I took it down and opened the micro switch. The official name is Normally Open MicroSwitch. It is widely used in Microwaves, ovens, and air fryers. It is a Door switch for critical safety components.
Look at the picture above. A and B are two connectors to the wires; normally, it is open. When C is pressed, the D will move up to touch B, then A and B are connected.
The A of this broken switch is kind of loose; D does not move up when I press C. The circle indicated the case was dented.
Found the problem, and I can solve it by replacing the switch.
I found some on Amazon.ca.
$13.99 for two. The measurements of the product are the same as the original one. It is 16A 125V/250V. Same as the old one.
It took one day to reach my front door.
It is a little bit hard to connect it. At last, I did it.
I assembled it. Plugged the power cord. “Beep”, the panel is on. I will try to air fry something for dinner and see if it is good.
