Power AirFryer Oven - Taking it apart and looking at the inside
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лют 2019
- I took apart the Power Air Fryer oven to give you a look at the inside. You can be the judge on the quality of the appliance.
In my opinion, from a manufacturing standpoint it looks well made. The plastic casting looked good and was very easy to put back together. I bet it only takes about a couple minutes to assemble allowing the manufacturer to pump these out at a fast pace.
The quality of parts looked like budget parts. The rotisserie parts looked really cheap and the fan motor looked like a basic HVAC fan. In my opinion this should retail for about $75.

I watched you video to help me take my roommate's apart and remove the annoying buzzer/beeper. Many Many people are complaining about the buzzers. You should do a video showing how to do that (I don't do videos). In case anyone else needs to know, it is the small cylindrical, black component on the upper board, next to the label "BUZ". It can be pried out carefully with a thin edged flathead screwdriver.
Thanks! My light has been out for a year and I now know I have to disassemble the whole damn thing to change it.
Great job 👍
I was having a little trouble opening it as I didn't want to damage it, thanks for the video
Excellent video! I called the company when my light went out after 3 months. The guy told me it was out of warranty and I would have to replace the whole unit. I told him all I wanted to know was a part number for the bulb and some instructions on how to replace it. He repeated to me that I would have to replace the whole unit. I asked him if he junked his car every time the headlight blew. No answer. Anyway, thanks for showing me how to get to the light.
I don't believe they intend to repair these and just replace it. It most likely cost them more to support everything to repair it than to just replace the entire unit.
The functionality of these machines is great, but the engineering and manufacturing .... you said it best, it's from China
It's s load of shit my bulb gone after 6 months wish I had stuck to my halogen oven as it comes with spare bulb's and I've had it for 4 years and old bulb still going strong
It's going to be a pain in the backside to get to the light but where on earth do you find a replacement 🤔
I am impressed, my air fryer developed to terrible noise like the fan is hitting somewhere, mine is still under warranty and I checked with a company they said I needed to send it back, I checked the rate to mail it back by parcel post which they said that was the cheapest way and it cost $69. Now I will try and take it apart and fix it, thank you for the video. If I need to buy a new one at different won't be the air fryer Pro.
Yes! This is all I needed to see was the top removal. Much thanks
Thank you. An in-law owns one and they ask me to "make it work again". Fixing it was simple enough. Getting the top off, well, thanks again. Guess I ought to watch the rest of the video. The problem? Oh, yeah, the microswitch wasn't closing, Heat combined with strong door catches is easily enough to cause everything to migrate out of alignment. Plastic air fryer, who'da thunk it?
Thank you! I have a PowerXL Grill Air Fryer Combo 12-in-1. There was no easy way to really clean it. So, I took it apart and the double fan came apart while I was unscrewing a different area. I am not sure how the small fan goes back in. Can you help?
Thanks so much for the reply. I really appreciate this. Cheryl
My Power Air Fryer Cooker is making very loud and strange noise . Please upload a video to fix it . It's been over an year , so it doesn't come under manufacturer's warranty
I repaired my daughter's power air fryer. I traced the hot wire of the plug for continuity along its length and found a break in when the wire went into the burner housing. After disassembling per the video to get to the break which turned out to be the 192 degrees C thermal switch which was crimped connected to the hot wire, covered with a strip of high temperature insulation and clamped to the top of the electric burner metal shroud. Unfortunately you have to disassemble everything before you can get to this part. Watch out for the door switch interlock. Note its location because the plunger and its spring will fall out when the inner shell and burners shroud are separated. Note also that the nut to remove the fan blade is opposite thread. Turn nut clockwise to remove it. Also note there are two fan blades, a smaller one with the blades turned up and located above the metal burner shroud and a larger fan blade located below the burner shroud and with its blades turned down. A metal spacer with stepped top and bottom holds the 2 fan blades apart while bolted. I got the 192C thermal switch and high temperature butt crimped connectors from Ebay. I put the new thermal fuse alongside the old and cut out both wires at each end of the switch to where I planned to install the butt crimp connectors such that the overall length of the switch and new crimped connection will match the existing length without having to remove the existing crimped connections. I used my bench vise to make the crimped connection making sure only the half part of the crimp connection will be crimped at the corner of the vise jaws. I can rotate the jaws of my vise so I could make the crimps with the positioning of the switch restricted by its connections to the other parts of the fryer. Apparently my daughter did not clean the air fryer well after use so the accumulation of grease probably made the unit run hotter than normal. Note that the fryer controls can get it up to 400F but the 192C thermal fuse setting is equivalent to 377.6F.
Yeah, totally...
@@danstevens64 😂
😮
Thanks for the video!
The relay that registers that the door is shut went out so I had to completely re wire this thing!
I had the issue after 3 months...2 month warranty 🙄
Thanks again!
Also to fit the newly connected thermal switch back through the hole on top of the plastic shroud above the burner shroud, do not slip the high temperature insulation in yet. Do it has all fit in through the hole.
The nut fell off of the circulation fan bolt and it seems to be lost. Any idea as to what size replacement I would need?
I love videos like this. Next time you take something apart, provide at least a couple seconds of a close up of the circuit board so I can get all the component part numbers from it and see the quality of the PCB, soldering, etc. Thanks!
I've been thinking about remaking the video or at least a part two of it going into more detail. I didn't realize how dark the blacks are with my camera.
Do you know what bulb variant it takes?
Really awesome video, detailed and informative... Thanks
Feit Electric Halogen 25w GY6.35 works.
@@ReedbenderBud thanks for letting me know.
Mine stopped turning on within a month but due to the lockdown the shops were closed so couldn't return it and now is out of warranty. But now I have managed to fix it. The safety door lock was dodgy and want triggering when closing the door as the spindle of the switch was not long enough. Put some hot glue to make it 3mm longer and it works perfectly fine now
Very helpful, Thanks! I needed to change the bulb. It's unfortunately welded and could actually be accessed directly from beneath after removing the first peal.
What is the light bulb watts ??
Thanks
I have one of these ovens!
I use it to reheat my pizza leftovers.
And the beep is so annoying!
They should add a stay on feature.
They should add a feature where the rotisserie motor only spins one way.
There should be a feature to turn off the fan so its a broil oven.
And a feature to turn off the buzzer.
Where would I find a new fan motor?
Will you be putting out a similar video for the NuWave Brio 10Q Digital Fryer? My on/off button is not responding and I'm hoping the front panel is not fried and there is only a contact issue in one of the connectors.
Yes. Maybe the next video
Does anyone know how to change the fuses inside the power air fryer cm003??
Ah Ha! That's how you get to the top part!
The light went out a few months ago, then the fan stopped working. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how to get to either.
Thanks!
Also, just an FYI, those plastic bits are from the shipping plastic that you peal off when you get it. The fan is not to cool the motor, it is to circulate the hot air inside (the "air" in airfryer).
5:01 the Fan, is what creates the circulation in the "Air Fryer", without the circulation, than it's just a broiler in a over priced plastic housing. lol
>
After watching this video, I'm convinced, that these "Cheap" plastic units, are just one Fire Hazard away, from burning down a house.
The fan under the motor at 5:01 isn't part of the oven compartment. The oven compartment is separated by a metal plate then there is another fan below it that circulates the air around the food. So there are two fans in total.
At 4:56 you can see the other fan that is directly above the heating coil that circulates the air.
Power XL AirFryer.
Thanks or the great video. I bought one and it works great, but the one I bought my son has a broken screen, which means all the digital features are invisible. Do you think this could be fixed by taking the oven apart? Could there possibly just be a loose connection or a piece of PLASTIC blocking a circuit? Thanks much again. Really appreciate this. Cheryl
I'm certainly not an expert here but if the screen stopped working when it was broken I believe it would need replaced. It doesn't hurt taking a look at it closer it since it's easy to take apart.
Or find one online that screen is good but the rest is burned out.
I got one that the screen is good but won't power up that I haven't looked into yet
My sister brought me her Caynel and the screen stopped working after the first rotisserie use. It was actually the thermal fuse. Once it was bypassed the unit began to light again.
Wow thanks for this video thats what happened to my rotisserie im gonna take it apart i have to keep telling myself it's not a microwave!! 😂😂😂thanks again!!!
I was hoping to disable the noise system but I can't figure out where it is. It beeps 5 times before finally going silent, its very load and annoying.
So i have this air fryer, it's been working great, except now when i plug it in, it seems to start but there is no sound and no heat. So is it gone, no good any more?
--- it probably blew an Internal Fuse, if it has one, or a thermal switch has gone bad, or one of the safety switches like an interlock, which prevent the unit from operating
could you please tell me what size bulb is required
Do you happen to recall where the fuse was? Mine stopped working. I want to check all the possibilities before giving up and buying a new one.
My fan stopped working on powerxl vortex, fix or buy a new one? Please and thank you.
Do you know the light bulb watts is ??
Thanks
One day my air fryer would not turn or power on. should I try and fix this any suggestions to what the problem could be, it was working fine u till now. Please help
How do I fix it when the monter doesn’t lite you
What would cause my power display to blink and not work?
I have a Caynel air fryer and it was the same exact component failure (thrermal fuse). I just bypassed the fuse entirely...
I doubt this will last very long anyway and didn't think it was worth the effort to replace.
I am a bad boy... ;)
thank you for the video i got one that is broken got tthe money back for it but they said throw it a way. some thing tell me they may know it was junk out the gate.
My power oven is only 6 months old and the bulb has blown already just watched this great video to see how to replace the bulb they don't make it easy thanks for the video my old man is going have a fit when he sees what he has to do to replace the bulb this appliance is not worth the money
My door won't stay closed. Any idea why?
#Gary Simmons Surely the fan is not to cool the motor but to
push the heat from the element down around the food? (hence;"Air Fryer")
Good video, thanks. I wish I could find one on getting at the fan in a
"Cooks Professional Air Fryer".
There are two fans attached to the motor. The first fan is directly above the heating element that blows air on to the food. There is a metal plate above that fan which separates the oven compartment from the electronics. The fan above the plate and below the motor looks to be an exhaust fan letting the air pass by the motor. The motor itself looks like a heat sink so am just assuming the top fan is meant to cool the motor.
@@smokegrillfryeat1673 Oh, I see what you're saying now Gary. Yes, not what you'd expect. Thanks for taking time to explain. I have a brand new Cook's Professional halogen one, but the fan doesn't run. Surprised the top didn't melt without the fan running when I tried it out. I'm hoping it'll just be a disconnected wire, when I can find how to access it's lid's insides. Good vid, thanks for making and sharing.
I'm having issues with my air fryer oven. The light will not turn off when you close the door and the touch pad will not work allowing you to start the air fryer. I know it has something to do with the door, but I can't figure out what. Some times if you pull up on the door it will shut the light off and allow you to use it, but other times all the jiggling and reopening and closing the door doesn't work. Any ideas on what it might be? Thanks!
Having the same problem. Did you find a fix?
@@rachelgermono2938 Nothing that lasts. I have to push down on the top and hold it for a minute or two until it heats up and then I can let go and it won't turn off. Definitely not ideal.
Ok thanks for replying. So frustrating! 😕
hi, try pushing the door up. there are switches at the top. if it works, stick an butter knife under the door.
We have the same issue( different model). I haven't taken mine apart yet to look at the switch. Like the person suggesting the butter knife, we stick a toothpick in the bottom of the door to lift it enough to trip the switch.
Where I can buy parts? Fan motor and heater.
I'm not aware of a place the sells them. I know most companies will just replace the entire unit then try to repair it. It's probably cheaper for them.
screen wont stay on...once plugged in...dashs n flashes for one second then off
I have kitchen appliances that have worked flawlessly for years. But I'm on my 2nd 'PowerXL Vortex Air Fryer Pro Plus' (Black) in ONLY 2 WEEKS! The first was purchased for me as a gift and I greatly appreciated it but it simply stopped working after one use, which was a rotisserie roast. The machine would not even turn on. I took it back to Walmart where it was purchased and they gave me a new one without any problem. Now, the rotisserie on the 2nd machine will not work. The rod will not stay in place and keeps falling out when I start the machine. It spins but only when it's hanging on by the left side where the gear is. So, it's going back, too. If anyone knows of a quality multi-function machine that does rotisserie, too. Please let me know. For anyone wondering about purchasing one of these, I for one cannot recommend it and would offer a robust, 'Buyer Beware'. Thanks for the video and for taking the time to dismantle this contraption. Much appreciated.
Hey Gary, new here and now connected to our channel. I just bought a used one and didn't hear the fan come on. Is the fan that quite?
The fan is loud enough that you'll know it's on. It's about as loud as a microwave fan. It's hard to see the fan through the grate but you can take that off with a small screwdriver then should be able to see the fan start.
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas this year. They used it for two weeks and the fan stopped working. It heats up, but the fan isn't working to circulate the heat. There is not a reset button. My daughter has called the company many times and no one answers. I was going to buy one for myself, if it worked good. It worked great those two weeks. I'm very disappointed and out $175. As of now, I would not recommend this product to anyone.
My dad bought me one a year ago and it worked great for a year..then stopped getting hot, but still turns on. He paid for the 6 yr warranty and they will replace it after I ship it back to them at my own expense...sadly I won't be doing that because it will probably die again in another year. I don't have the heart to tell my dad it broke. He loved knowing how much time it saved me while cooking for my kids
is there a kitchen appliance....or anything with a power plug sold in north america, that`s NOT made in china?
Where can I get a replacement bulb from?
That's what I need to know been trying to find out online my bulb went after 6 months 😡
@@blondiejam924 did you ever get your bulb if so whats the size please
@@janetsteadman3461 did not get a new bulb I sent the oven back to Argos and they sent me another one but I had problems with that one intermittent bulb going on and off so got my money back I brought a tower air fryer oven instead and it's soooo much better
How could I find out why mine does not work?
That's a tough question to answer as it can be a number of different components. I'm no electrician but I would check it there is a fuse and if it is blown (I don't recall this having a fuse) then look if any capacitors are blown or if there is anything out the ordinary such as burnt marks on the circuit board. If I couldn't find anything I would most likely chuck it as these aren't intended to be serviceable.
I wanted to just take the door off and clean it but your video showed the unit with the door off but not how you took it off.
After 4 years the fan stopped working on ours. We're just tossing it and buying another because that way it has a warranty, is a better model and oddly costs half what the old one did.
How can I get a door replacement for the rotisserie power air fryer?
I have the same model & it just failed after 2 years and 8 months. Yes it had lots of use, 4-5 times a week for lunch and maybe twice for larger meals. The lunches were short times, 20 minutes maximum. The dinners, usually chicken and sides maybe 45-50 minutes. I don't think it's supposed to be used for longer times. Right after a longer duration cook it failed.
The element was red hot and began smoking heavily. Fuse isn't blown so hopefully it's just an internal fuse or one of those flimsy internal wires.
Probably won't buy another, instead a built in oven with air fryer function of mine can't be fixed.
Just to say I fixed mine. There's two thermal 192°c fuses behind the element. 4:53 to the right of your finger are 3 small nuts, the two outer hold the fuses against the metal housing. The middle is ground.
Gave it a good clean with oven cleaner. Nasty stuff but the grease just melted away.
Oh I soldered on a new bulb also. The original was 230v 30 watts. I think the new is 50 watts. Hopefully it lasts a bit longer.
Not easy getting it all back together, it was left in pieces for a week!
@@Gunzee Mine just dies and there is nothing display when plugged in and it looks like the fuses are blown. So where are the fuses located?
I call these "landfill ovens." Serious junk.
-- Fire Hazards... Fraught with danger
You pay for what you get ! LOL. You could pay three times more and get a Germany air fryer. However, most China appliance last much longer than I expect nowadays. For me, I want to replace my appliance often so that I can get the latest feature. Just like my cell phone, I never buy top model because I replace it every 2 years. LOL... Many countries manufactures their in China, take advantage of the low labor cost in China, transfer their pollution to China, so that they can make a lot more profit. Usually Chinese made 10% or less profit while those countries made 90%or more profit. Another well known product is iPhone. China products have been the main reason of low inflation of last few decades.
lol, I'm no AVE
Is this a well made appliance? What do you think?
I got one for xmas from my brother but had just moved. When I first used it this was really nice but after three uses the fan stopped. By the time this had passed the warranty was over and their online help wanted my brother's credit card number which would never happen and he works all the time. I just found this video and will fix it myself. Everything else work just not the fan which is common. It is medium in quality with a lot of plastic that will have to used gently. Cool concept but for $140 over priced. I'll let you know if I fixed it.
I've used mine like twice a week for a year+ and I would say it's an excellent machine. The light is out but it is great hardware othereise.
@@TheSpawnacus Did you fix it? How?
My light went out, then a month later the fan stopped working.
...but, I've had mine for almost two years before anything went wrong with it.
@@Mdw92581 I agree, it cooks food great! ...the only problem is the bulb and the fan.
