Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince. - Навчання та стиль
Vince, if it wasn't for the trial and error taking the top off, nobody else would know, so thanks for helping future repairers prevent from doing this exact same thing, taking one for the team!
Even better if he would have simply explained how to take the top off without breaking it in this video 😋
@@FizzzieCat You're simply stupid if you didn't hear what he said that he already showed it in another video
Goddammit, you could've had a perfect Faulty Tower joke served right there! 🤣
If he read the Manuel before using it it might still be working 😆
😂🤭
Trying. To. Fix a. Brand. New. Air fryer. With. E1. Error. Code
Well done Vince, that's what we love about your videos, you show it warts an all.
Vice, you are simply the nicest, most patient, positive man on the planet. That air fryer would have flown across the room had I been the one working on it.
Thank you for being you!
I work for a company that is making a range of mobile kitchen utensils. We'd be interested in your design modifications to create a flying air fryer.
Yay Vince the Air Fryer fixer, super vlog matey keep them coming 🤘
Loved the video Vince. Great fix.👍
As someone who gets their head into many different fix issues I really and honestly appreciate these videos you do Vince. I have a Tefal model Air fryer with a Rotisserie and I'm gonna bet you pay the extra purely for Brand name....anyway I've got a Head Start now if I need to get my head into it for any reason. Thanks and keep em coming Vinny.
Another Great Job Vince! Pity about the crack, but at least it's at the back and you did kind of repair it. I had a feeling it was going to be something like a sensor wire off with it being a new item. The chips look good too! 👍👍
We can't see the crack it's on the back of the oven.
Nice one Vince. Got this model so it's nice to know there's a teardown vid should I need 👍
One thing you could do vince is get some sort of decal, something that's a similar style to your kitchen design, and just wrap the case so it covers the crack. Just a thought 😊
Nice fix and disassembly instructions for other repairers :)
Nice little vid Vince - I liked the book you referred to also. Nicely explains the purpose of elements for us lesser educated in the world of electronic components 🤪
I think the main concept behind air fryers is they are alot healthier. If you'd had made your own chips you would need a fraction of the oil used in frozen chips
Great video
Thanks for us the book. It looks like something I'd like to have a read of, so I just ordered a copy of Vol 1 and Vol 2 for myself.
Always waiting for next videos love the content
I thought for sure you would go for Fish & Chips! 🙂 But the chips are yummy alone. Thanks for being honest Vince, your choice to show people rather than make them guess is wonderful, one of the reasons I come to watch.
New subscriber here, enjoying the videos.
Just a tip for the future, instead of melting the edges of a broken plastic assembly together, use the 'baking soda and superglue trick'.
If you google 'baking soda and superglue', you will find many examples of its use.
But basically, all you do is sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the crack, then flood the area with thin superglue. This results in a very strong repair.
I'll be watching this one with interest as I have this model in my kitchen
Taking one for the team, thanks Vince! 👍
😂👍
I think my 1st strategy would be to see if any button pushes did a hard reset on it. Guessing not but might be worth a try.
The ultimate ‘wince with Vince’ moment…. Felt your pain there
It might be worth getting in touch with Tower, they may supply you with a replacement part for a few bob, if you don't ask, you don't get....
Good chip review Vince!
Your videos are an important contribution to the right to repair. Thanks for doing this for everyone!
Thanks bro this was very helpful in my case. I had taken my air fryer apart because the fan inside was touching the element and making a unbearable metal to metal sound. Only to find out that I just had to tighten up a screw holding down the fan. So when I was putting the air fryer back together, a "EE01" error and a beeping sound came on. So after watching your video I made sure those wires were properly connected and it worked. 🙏🤣📺👍👋👌❤️
Loved this!! Very interesting
Thanks Frosty 👍
Nice. Finishing off with In the Hall of the Mountain King as well! I always think it's a happy day in an orchestra when they're told they're doing the Peer Gynt suite!
I see what you did there with the outro music being Hall Of The Mountain King - the Alton Towers theme for a Tower air fryer! 🤣
I have the Ninja dual draw, and it’s brilliant hardly used the oven since, pork joint and crackling is amazing little over an hour joint is done roast potatoes in the other draw and Yorkshire puds 😊, no pre heating the oven for 20 mins + (and then forgetting about it lol)
Spicy chicken wings done in 10 mins, homemade sausage rolls 12 mins enjoy it Vince you will thank yourself 😊
I love my air fryer. I have a different model to this and it has a container more like a deep fryer. Shaking and/or turning food hallf way helps it to all be cooked evenly (the fryer has a reminder for that). It's so much healthier than a deep fryer and much more efficient and faster than an oven.
Thanks . I got the same problem .. after your video i fixed this with 3 min
I have a junk soldering iron I use for solely melting plastic. When you 3D print stuff. You find yourself having to glue and melt a lot of stuff together. For anybody that in crafts or repair. I always recommend buying a junk soldering iron just for melting plastic
Air fryers are great Vince! Much better than heating an entire oven, quicker and more energy efficient too!
No pre heat times is a winner! Cheers Weeurey 👍
Well done. The chips, too. 😂 The reason why so many people (me included) use the Airfryer is the less of fat and the more healthy food. Carry on mate!
Greetings from Germany!
Oh wow, what a quick fix that was eh, Vince?! Shame about the plastic top that broke, it seemed to break a bit too easy, I suppose it's a bit cheap on the plastic.
Been an owner of a Ninja for about three years now and I have to say, I do nearly every bit of cooking in it. It does take a bit of getting used to because cooking gets done quicker and the instructions for cooking foods on the back of items is for regular gas or electric ovens instead of air fryers. Top tip is take off about 5-8 minutes off the cooking times.
Also worth noting, since the rise of air fryers studies have been carried out around the world about long term health effects of using air fryers improperly.
Studies show that acrylamide (which can lead to cancer) forms when we apply heat over 120°C. Although I've seen other media information that says you should never cook potato products for example over 180°C.
I just cook at 180°C now, to be on the safe side but if my air fryer isn't going to lead me to an early death there are other things with my health that probably will!
Ahh, such is life!
@10:27 - In the restaurant equipment world we tend to call cookers like this "Impinger" style cooker. It directs airflow in a more concentrated manor to cook food at lightning speed. Lincoln makes inpinger ovens for chain-fed pizza ovens and the like. I always feel like I am busting out some archaic language when I comment on your videos. Citation - 6 years as a factory authorized service agent for all forms of industrial cooking equipment.
Well done vince for mending it im waiting for the ninja ive got to pop up as a tear down so i can properly clean under the fan blades 😊good invention though
I've just taken one of these things apart, the top part is held on by slotted clips that fit over a little bar which locks it in place. The only way to release them is by using a hook and lifting the slotted part off the bar. I found an RS soldering tool that has an angled pick one end and a hook on the other works great, it's the first time I've found a use for this tool. It's difficult to explain how to do this without pictures though.
I think that all of us were just as heartbroken as you Vince when that cover cracked... 😞 What an unpleasant noise! Makes me think of the scent of the Magic Smoke escaping a chip, transistor or other semi-conductor....... Just as unplesant.........
knew it was coming and still winced and groaned. my automatic and involuntary sympathy to anyone that goes through this.
Av had one for nearly 2 years. Best thing av ever bought
thanks Vince now I want fish and chips.
that is a brilliant idea for plastic welding im going to try that 😄
Good videos
neat i have the same air frier, i've never tried the rotisserie chicken mode yet but it makes great danish pastries
yep, same - it is incredibly versatile and we've done an entire meal on 3 shelves. Also warms a breakfast croissant quite nicely! 😉
The error code is interesting. When I was fixing photocopiers E001stood for a temperature out of spec error. You had to reset the fault before the machine would start working again.
Those faults would pop up everywhere after the Christmas holidays, because a lot of buildings were not heated and the machine couldn't get up to temperature in the specified time.
And I noticed the manual referenced printers as well, so it seems a universal error code.
The question is, how many potential error codes could an air fryer even have... I'd assume not too many, and all of them will probably revolve around temperature.
I bet it's basically "Error 1". And something like the airfryer might well only have one error code which it lumps all errors under...
The main problem I found with photocopiers after the Christmas holidays was the number with broken glass because some idiot tried copying his arse...
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle it's really funny, I've never seen that in the 9 years I did that job.
But that was in Ireland, maybe it's different elsewhere. 😁
@@jochenstacker7448 Regular happening here in Blighty. People wanting to show their boss what they think of them, anonymously ... 🙄
Well done Vince :) Gentle reminder to take your torque wrench whence you next visit the RR
Thank you Mike👍👍👍
Well-fixed fryer with cable tuck (in second place to faulty tower). If the plastic is ABS you can also use evo-stik extra strong pvc pipe weld, but with caution as this melts the plastic (experiment first, use sparingly on the joint and on the inside instead of the soldering iron). Superglue fumes can damage electronics and can become brittle after a short time.
Bloody hell, here I was getting all comfortable thinking I’m about to watch a 40-50min video. Longer videos Vince lol
Damn you Vince, now I'm hungry 😅😢
Supermarket frozen pizza cooks really nice as well, the one I have is 25 Litres and is like a small oven.
The usual instruction for most airfryers is to shake it at half-way point. Some even beeps half-way to remind you. Also, they're advertised as "fry/cook without oil" so there's the health aspect in combination with convenience and saving power. They do work without oil but with a lot of things (including chips) the result is usually a LOT better with a small amount of oil, the main exception is stuff that provides it itself. So, they're really more "fry with a lot LESS oil" but that's not "marketing speak".
When doing frozen chips I use an oil sprayer to spray them with a fine mist, they get more crispy despite using only small amounts of oil, and most of that ends up in the pan underneath anyway. The one I have is the traditional "basket" type which can't have things like rotissery functions but tends to be even more energy efficient.
You can get polystyrene rods at hobby shops, if you put one in a dremel and turn it on the friction will melt the rod when you run it over the broken plastic welding it together. Give it a try sometime.
we have just had a whole roast chicken dinner with roast potatoes (chopped up new potatoes from a tin, very crispy) made in the fryer, yes including stuffing. microwaved the veg. reheating tomorrow as there was enough for four and only two of us. Very very efficient.
I do have an airfryer and Never has this error appear on the machine, but what a simple fix but hard to take apart lol
We have this air fryer - great for if/when I have to get into it... Minus the crack hopefully though :D
Thanks!
Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍
Air friers are the biggest and probably the most successful remarketing of a kitchen appliance of all time. They are what we used to call convection ovens. You can still buy microwave ovens that are also convection ovens and they do the job just the same if not better (because they have more space)
But yeah. The air fryer is not a new thing. It's just been repackaged and remarketed to huge success. They are a convection oven. So save yourselves kitchen space folks. Just buy a microwave with a convection oven built in.
The very first microwave that my late parents ever bought in the early '80s was a lovely large cavity, countertop Sharp convection model, complete with a beautiful multicolored VFD display with some pretty cool animated icons for defrosting as well as convection mode. Sadly, it suffered a PSU failure once through a line surge, was repaired, and then experienced another failure. It was a sad day when we took that to the E-Waste collection. All the other microwaves since then have paled in comparison, and being non convection units, have had their painted oven cavities peel and rust out. With a convection unit, you have a far more forgiving and durable stainless steel finish.
I used to own an airfryer, gave it to mum when hers broke. I also had a Philips all in one, gave that to my sister for Christmas, and got myself an Instant Pot Pro Crisp. Will never go back, I pretty much do everything in that thing.
It might sound obvious, but what did the manual say about the, 'E1', error? It might have given you a clue as to what the problem was. As it is, the problem was self-evident and easily resolved once you got into it.
Love my air fryer ,best thing since the shirt pocket!
Vince if you have some heat proof vinyl just wrap that part or put a sticker over the crack , job done
I have that 1 (rose gold gold trim). Recommended sweet potato fries in it. They come out of the oven a bit limp and don't taste great. They benefit from being crispy from the air fryer.
Nice time for a tea break fix
If its not broke, does not matter Vince will break it to fix it .
Have used an air fryer/very small convection oven for years. They tend to get really dirty and greasy over time though especially cooking chips.
I bought a bunch of those plug-in ultrasonic pest repeller things and one of them wasn't working so I opened it up and one of the plugs wasn't plugged in on the board. I plugged it in, put it back together and it now works. Another time I bought a coffee maker and when I put water in where you're supposed to it leaked out of the bottom. I wanted to open up the machine and see what's up but It ended up being returned to the store and another one was exchanged which worked.
7:32 Try the superglue and baking soda trick, that is definitely much stronger than superglue alone.
and quicker/cleaner than melting plastic with the iron.
Activator spray too. Spray then blow on the lump of superglue baking soda and you can watch it harden.
Hope you give it a try Vince👍
I was just about to say the same thing, it works wonders. I use this method all the time.
great video and when you said chips I thought bag of chips not fries.
The first air fryer on your channel
I purchased a used Cosori Air frier a year ago from Market place. I found out it got recalled for a bad crimp on the heating element although mine worked fine. After jumping through the required hoops, they sent me a brand new Air Frier. I didn't argue...free works. The other one worked just fine but why risk it?
Glue that broken bit back in, after removing all components, sand prime and fill, get a custom MMV logo vinyl and stick it on after painting and have your own custom MMV air fryer :)
Ha! That was an easy one, always nice from time to time.
As a tinkerer myself, i sometimes find it hard to return a DOA-item to the shop under warranty instead of opening it up and possible wrecking it completely. ;)
Oh well, wrecking stuff is part of the game i guess. ;)
Yes it is a dilemma, the temptation is always there on a broken item 😂
Yeah, air fryers make great chips, that's half what we use ours for ourselves! Even the frozen ones are better, but cutting your own is even better. For more even cooking, make sure there's plenty of air space as they're stacked up so the air can get through. It helps ^_^
As soon as you mentioned the word "clips" I thought ham fisted Vince will break one like he normally does ...almost guaranteed, but you went one better and broke a big chunk out of the top 😂
Hi how do I find the other video of taking apart without breaking it please ?
Update I have worked it out and fixed mine now thanks for the video
Mate Vince you should keep that air fryer it would be great to make fish and chips with it 😊
Best way to do frozen chips in one of these is to first toss them with melted butter in a pan and then cook at 175 (any hotter and they tend to burn) until they're done.
Tip for you mate move the air fryer away from the wall there's a fan outlet at the back and it will leave marks on your tiles.
6:52 hot snot glue fixes everything 😂😂😂
You ate a chip this time instead of fitting one! A nice fix!!!
🙃
😂👍
Shame about the casing breaking, what a fantastically easy fix. I've been tempted to buy one but my electricity is vastly more expensive than gas but I do get the logic cooking single items like a chicken leg in an oven is not a sensible idea nor economical. My dehumidifier was very cheap to run for drying clothes but now it's cheaper to put the gas central heating on.
you should get a hot staple plastic welding gun vince , for cracked plastic , there cheap and they work really well ,and the staples are stainless steel , so its strong and the staples don,t rust . i luv mine ,its been a life saver .
Or a pliers, a staple, and a torch and you can it at home without the staple gun 😂
@@IMDYT420 ua-cam.com/video/dGveuYxwzg0/v-deo.html 😂😂😂 why have the hassle of a blowtorch ,pliers.home made staples ,when they only cost 12 quid and comes with a selection of staples ,no brainer
Good video, but very frustrating you didn’t put a link to the Teabreak fix which I just could not find!
I had a business building battery packs, we used hot glue to hold the cells together during assembly. I wouldn't trust hot glue's longevity from my experiences it becomes brittle over time and just falls away. Coincidentally most battery packs use a NTC thermistor for the charging circuits.
I know the struggle taking about an airfryer. I basically did exactly what you did and started from the bottom. Turns out , much like this one, the top bezel unclips. After about half an hour of trying to pull it apart. I found one of the two thermo fuses were blown. Then the struggle continued trying to reassemble it.
Hi, Where are the fuses? Have this air fryer and fan stopped spinning. Can hear a click of the relay but no fan. Wonder if it is a fuse for fan. Thanks
@mrmoo1480 In my case they were attached to top of the metal case above the heating element
Got to love the irony ordered one the other day.
NTC mean Negative Temperature Coefficient - meaning that resistance declines as temperature increases. It can be useful to measure temperature, or for example you if you want to limit inrush current (initial current draw of certain devices can be very high for example a large capacitor) PTC or Positive Temperature Coefficient has the opposite effect with temperature, its resistance increases as temperature rises, this can be used as a safety device to stop something drawing too much current if it begins to overheat, like a motor for example
Is that like the start relay on a fridge compressor.
Hi Vince, I'm on my 2nd one of these! They are cheap chinese mass produced rubbish. Mine was breaking just after 12 months, finally died 12 more months later.
Cook the chips in the rotisserie drum, they are fantastic. Eveningly cooked throughout.
Problems start with the rotisserie safety feature, the bar jumps out the socket and stops rotating the food. If you slightly ooen the drum lid it makes it slightly longer so that it doesn't jump out of the socket. Enough waffling, you'll find out soon enough...
knew it was coming and still winced and groaned. my automatic and involuntary sympathy to anyone that goes through this.
Vince you need to move the Air Fryer quite far from the wall to allow hot air to escape from the machine.....there's like an exhaust or air vent at the back of mine anyhow I need to keep clear and away from the wall.
Did you ever post the Tea Break Fix video on this? I cannot find it anywhere.
Where is the tea break fix you mention for taking top cover off? Thanks
I have the same model. Won one in a competition. Shame about the broken top but your sacrifice will not be in vain.
Great job. Could you please tell me the book name @7:58 ?
Thank you
hotgluing part of oven is one step above hotgluing heatsing in recent video :)))
😅the bulb has blown on our air frier ( same one as in your video) how do you replace it.
Super glue makes me cringe since finding Mitre Bond. It’s unreal, the strength and the speed it’s sets with the included activator spray is awesome. There is other brands such as screwfix no nonsense which is just as good. Have a try I guarantee you won’t go back to regular superglue.
it's all super glue.. cyanoacrylate.. that activator spray will work on any of it.. that being said the activator is life changing
@@thematthewlondon I didn’t realise the activator worked on all super glue. Good to know! Cheers
Thanks for the clue but I’ve been unable to unclip the silver bezel, but have murdered it in the process. 🤕
I hope this works for the cosori
Hi, do you know why my Tower 17076 only starts when door is open? However no functions can’t be selected as the panel is not responding? So weird! Not sure how to fix it 😩
