I have a Cuisinart Toaster Oven Air Fryer TOA-60 and it isn’t responding properly to the mode setting knob. It turns on for some modes but not others. Recently it randomly switched and will turn on for ones it didn’t before and now others don’t work. How can I fix this knob?

Air Fryer: Calling SMPS gurus to help

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 21:00:51 -0700

I am attempting to repair the power supply of my air fryer. It comes on for a moment and then dies. I have traced the circuit (hopefully correct!). I have checked all the diodes, capacitors and resistors. I have not been able to find out the identity of the 8-pin controller. It looks a bit like the Viper12A but the pins do not match. Can anyone identify it please? Greetings from Western Australia, William

It is impossible to see the markings on the IC with the naked eye. I have taken a photograph of the IC through my microscope and applied filters to get the best image. It appears to have two sets of numbers - PN6013 and L43A2A12. How does one distinguish between the part number and the production number?

I would be gratefulif anyone can shed some light on this - I need to know what type of controller IC it is.

Hello again SMPS Gurus! I have now replaced the PN6013 after replacing all the low ESR electrolytics but still the problem persists!

The voltage across the 4.7mfd capacitor on the high voltage section is stable at 340v (Our mains is 240v)

Upon switch-on the 5v secondary output across the 1000mfd capacitor on the low voltage section reads 5v for a second and then drops off towards zero. A few seconds later it comes back for a second and then drops off to zero, this then repeats.

The sawtooth waveform at the SW connection of the PN6013 does the same thing, goes to full swing and then dies down repeatedly. The voltage across the 220mfd does the same thing, rises to a steady level and then dies down repeatedly.

Any jewels of wisdom?

Tefal Actifry: Heating Element not turning on, fuses appear good (EDIT from NOT good)

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:12:35 -0700

I've read the other question about the heating element though it was solved with a fuse replacement rather than a heating element replacement. A preliminary test across two of the visible fuses showed continuity across both although the one with the clear glass tube showed no visible signs of being blown. I couldn't see under the white covering of the larger one.
(EDIT: My bad, fuses with continuity imply good fuses as point out by commenter Jayeff - thank you)

Would suspect heating element as a possibility. More details in my comment on Jayeffs answer below.

Are there any skilled hobbyists who can advise on more in depth troubleshooting?

If I solve my problem I have pledged to making a disassembly guide for the T-fal Actifry but at this point I'm just ready to give up on the repair.

Air fryer: Wrong voltage on my Cosori Air Fryer

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 23:35:14 -0700

Hi All,

I just bought a Cosori Air Fryer from USA and like a fool thought that I could use it on 240 v Qatari electric standard.

It immediately burnt, apparently. I attached one picture of it.

Do I still have any chance to put it back alive?

Air Fryer: Instant Vortex Air Fryer's power turns on briefly, then goes off

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 07:37:04 -0700

Hi all. I'm attempting my first appliance repair with my Instant Vortex air fryer, and before I go taking it apart I was hoping to get some advice on how to logically diagnose and approach the problem.

The Problem

Upon plugging the air fryer into a household outlet, the display will beep and briefly turn on before displaying the message 'OFF', and then turning off completely and rendering the appliance unusable. Below is a video demonstrating the behavior.

Any suggestions on how to approach this problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm a total repair noob, so really appreciate the help!

Ninja Air Fryer: Plugged 110v air fryer into 220v plug! Can it be fixed?

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 08:17:37 -0700

I accidentally plugged my Ninja air fryer, purchased from the United States, 110v plug, into an extension board that was plugged into a 220v wall socket, and it immediately gave a loud “pop" and there was a very faint smell of smoke or something, and it hasn't worked since. Can it be fixed? Or is the appliance damaged beyond repair?

Breville BOV900: Error code E01 (Thermistor issue, maybe). Any self fixes for this?

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 12:07:46 -0700

Breville warranty site says 'E01' is a non-resettable error and the oven needs to be sent to their repair service. Trying to avoid that, web searches point to this being a potential temperature sensor malfunction. Any chance this is something that can be fixed on my own? TIA

Philips HD9252 Repair: My air fryer won't start

Sat, 19 Oct 2024 10:06:28 -0700

The part of the interlock that was supposed to be pressed when the tray is inserted is broken. Because of that the air fryer won't start because it can't detect that the drawer was inserted even if it really is inserted. This is not a problem with the drawer but with the "sensor". What cam I do to repair it?

The fryer doesn't power up. I've managed to get to the drawer switch and found it works. Trying to disassemble the rest of the fryer is impossible. The manufacturer gives absolutely no help of course.
