Thanks for the video. My Gourmia Air Fryer was dead this morning, so before I went searching for a new one (this one has done fine for me until now), I searched for a fix and found your video. Turned out I had the same problem. As soon as my thermal fuse shows up, I'll be back in business (I cheated and tested it after I removed the bad one). Thanks much.
Thank you for the video. Was able to quickly repair our exact same air fryer. Thermal fuse: AUPO BF172-1 purchased at a local computer/electronic parts store for $1.49
There is literally a video for everything on YT. Thank you so much. I have this exact model. I did replace it with a nicer double drawer Ninja air fryer for everyday use, but we take the Gourmia camping with us since it is so portable, so it was definitely worth repairing. First time soldering too. My welds aren't pretty, but they work. My dad is going to be so proud of me. I'm not gonna tell him about your video though so i seem smarter ;) but still, thank you!
Good stuff, my friend! Took me a while to find my thermal fuse (different Gourmia model; complete, and I mean complete, disassembly required), but that's indeed what it was. Appreciate the link to the ebay fuses, more time saved. This is what RUclips is all about :)
Thank you posting this very helpful video! I was able to follow along and fix my air fryer. Saved me some money on buying a new one and learned something new. Thanks again!
A big thanks for this. Saved us buying a new air fryer. Apparently this is a common failure point in the Gourmia brand air fryer. Fuse (and some extras) ordered! Shout out to an earlier commenter that mentioned "cheating" to make sure it would come on. (Not actually firing up the heating element of course, but getting the beep. ) I used a jumper wire temporarily and it indeed came to life!
Useful vid, thanks! Same model, same problem, same fix. People might consider crimping the new fuse in place. Soldering worked for me but you run the risk of blowing the fuse as you solder it. Thanks
@@rossie10924 just a couple of crimp connectors from an auto parts store. You’d need a pair of crimp pliers to crimp the connector to the wire. Google search ‘wire crimper’
thank you. I replaced the dead fuse with two connectors as you suggested from eBay link for $7. I m so happy it is working now. I also learned from you how to use my multimeter.
I only need a multi meter and will see if the fuse is the issue which seems like it is. My gourmia air fryer just gave out and I was frying some seasoned drum sticks. Now I'm Hungry, glad I came across your vid.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I have this same exact fryer and it had the same problem. A friend gave it to me after it died. I was 99.9% sure it was the thermal fuse, but couldn't figure out how to get it open and when I seen your video thumbnail and title last night, I said this guy knows how to fix this. I was right! Thanks again. I didn't have the right fuse but I ordered a 5 pack of them from Amazon last night, so they should be here by the 31st. 1st air fryer I've ever owned and I have to say I'm liking it already. I used a lower value fuse just to test it and it made a handful of fries before that fuse also blew. I didn't want to put a higher one in it to make sure nothing else got fried (no pun intended LOL). I just wanted to come back here and like your video and leave a comment.
@@zafarmehmood3417 If your unit has the same fuse, then don't use a different one. If it uses the 172, then here is the link to the ones I bought to fix my fryer that he shows here. Once again, don't substitute another fuse for the one yours requires. I am not responsible for any damage or injury. I am just providing the link to the ones I ordered for my unit that is 100% identical to the one he is showing here. www.amazon.com/dp/B071F9PGW4/?coliid=I2ACWC3EFHNVMB&colid=2ZDQQQQ45P2S8&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Thank you so much for your wonderful video, I stripped mine down to clean it but put the wires on the element back wrong & it wouldn't work, your video shows me where I went wrong. Mine is a Princess air fryer but is identical to yours. Again, thank you !!
I have the same exact Air Fryer and it stopped working just as described in the video. I puchased the Fuse in Amazon for $6.75 (6 of them). I followed the procedure in the video and got it working again. I really appreciate the view. Thanks very much .
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thanks this movie i won't be hungry tomorrow and day after... you make my life a bit easier and I hop good you gave me will return to you. God bless you.
Thank you very much for the video! My Gourmia Air Fryer GAF-575 got the same issue. I managed to open it before found your video. I opened the bottom first, and checked the mechanical switch, which is OK, then opened the top, but couldn't see obvious burning on the board, and I didn't know there is a thermal fuse , so I gave up and just bought a new one today from Costco (same brand, newer model, same price) as we use it often. Then, I found your video tonight and measured the thermal fuse, which is open circuit. I ordered new fuse from Amazon rated at 15A because the spec of Gourmia says 1500W, which suppose to be over 10A on 120V. If I can fix it, I will keep it as a spare/backup.
I followed this video in trying to repair my somewhat similar Gourmia air fryer. Mine was much harder to get into, the top required many more steps to be able to take the shell off, and I broke the top knob which controls cooking temperature while trying to get in. Unfortunately when I did get in, the thermal fuse was not located on the top as in your model, but was sandwiched between the top layer and the inside of the cooker, which I assume was purposeful so that I could not gain access to it. I would have had to break the shaft that turns the fan inside the cooking chamber to gain access to the fuse and so after many days of tinkering and trying different ways to reach it, the whole thing wound up in the garbage. Which I'm sure was their intent.
im literally working on this right now and it sounds the same. The heating element and fan needs to be removed before the sandiwiched components can be accessed. After that the fuse can be reached etc This video shows the reassembly ruclips.net/video/yym6mkN2dnE/видео.html
I recommend crimping the thermal fuse since soldering it may blow the fuse if you're not quick or use a heat sink. Here is a link to suitable thermal fuses and crimps: amzn.to/3r7Pehw
Very nice video, easy to follow, I couldn’t find exactly the same thermal fuse, but one that goes 170 C and 15A... is there a risk on that condition!? This fuse actually included two small pieces that allowed to crimp it to the wire, so no need of soldering.
That sounds like it should do the trick. Nice that your thermal fuse came with crimps. It is better to crimp because soldering could blow a thermal fuse if too much heat travels along the wire as it is soldered.
I did the fix and it worked, bit then when my wife finished using it she put the clean basket back in, the fryer was off, and the burner came in by itself with no lights or fan on it started smoking. My wife unplugged it and told me about it. It would not turn in again so I took it apart and fount the thermal resistor was blown again. Fixed it again and noticed the burner unit had lost a few screws and was dripping down a bit. It was causing the fan to touch something causing friction. Upon inspecting, I found the where the acres hold the burner unit up in the machine the plastic bases had melted a bit l, so I put longer screws in which held it in there perfectly, but when went to test it, it worked but upon placing basket in with machine off it didn't again white the cooking element turning on getting red and smoking, unplugged again and same thing. Machine won't turn on, thermal resitor blown again. What do you think it is. I have to order more thermal resistors to trouble shoot again.
Sounds like you have a true overheating problem and safety issue. The thermostat (temperature sensor) may be bad, shorted or ventilation may be obstructed. In any case, it’s more than just a marginal thermals fuse. If the heating element comes on by itself, that’s a serious fire risk. Time to toss that air fryer before you burn the house down.
Thanks for sharing I had the same problem with my Air Fryer now its working :) part bought it from amazon for 7$ (Vigor_Source 5 pcs. SF188E NEC SEFUSE Microtemp Thermal Fuse Cutoff TF 192C 250V 10A (Rated Voltage: 110V / 220V) New SF188E)
Thanks to your video I was able to fix th thermal fuse. But I need help with how to connect the blue and res wires to the white and black wires. Which one -- blue or red wire -- connect to the black hot wire? The black and white wire is the main Cord that connects to the wall outlet. Thanks. JB
Sorry, but I can’t help you there because I no longer have the air fryer, but maybe someone else can help. In general, the black is the live AC while white is the neutral, but within appliances, anything goes.
@@whidbeyben Thank you for your reply. I connected the red internal wire to the black hot wire and the blue to white neutral. It worked. Your videos is the most useful learning tool out there for this model of gourmia. GREAT HELP. You should do more such videos on other appliances. Hint: GE Profile Microvave. 🙂
Thermal fuse blew due to failure of temperature control .Mine lasted 3 months .Unit NOT UL listed .Replacing Thermal fuse is going to blow again ,unles the temperature control is replaced.
Glad to see this video. i have this nutricook rapid air fryer, i happened to open it in order to clean after watching your video, and apparently unable to re assemble it because i cannot remember the connections properly can you kindly assist on this please. its been weeks of trying unsuccesfully. cannot even find a tech manual online.
I’m sorry that I can’t help you with that. I have no experience with the nutricook rapid air fryer, and there are as many design variations as there are models and manufacturers. A cardinal rule for DIY repairs is always take lots of pictures of all wiring and connections before you disassemble and disconnect. Also be very careful to organize and label all fasteners as to where they belong. It’s never a good thing to have “extra” parts left over after you reassemble.
Nice job. I have a different Gourmia model that shuts off on its own every time I start to preheat, so do you think it could still be the thermal fuse? Thanks for the video.
You’ve got a different problem because the thermal fuses don’t reset themselves. Once the blow, they have to be replaced. There may be a component on the processor board that is failing. Sorry.
My Gormia looks exactly the same as yours but fuse (confirmed "bad" thanks to you) is 172C. Should I replace with 172C or 192C (you mentioned ion your video) would be better? 20C difference might not be enough to add any more hazard but pos could be less burnt fuses in the future?
You should stick to as close to the original spec as possible for safety because different models may have different safe temperature tolerances. Here is a link to a selection of thermal fuses with crimps: amzn.to/3r7Pehw
Nice job. I have the same problem with my nuwave brio air fyer. No power when I plug in. Is it the same issue? How much would you charge to fix? Trying to find a repair shop but no luck.
Sorry. I’m not a repair shop- just a DIY kind of guy. There’s usually a thermal fuse and a tray sensing switch that are the parts most prone to failure. I have no idea what’s inside your Nuwave Brio but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t very similar to the Gourmia.
Mine doesn't stop when the drawer is pulled out. I find this video clip useful for at least how to dissemble the air fryer to check the micro switch to see if it is still functioning. Otherwise, any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks for the video clip.
To access the microswitch that detects the presence of the drawer, you need to flip the Gourmia air fryer upside down and remove the bottom cover. There are 5 recessed but visible Phillips screws that hold it in place. With the bottom cover off, the microswitch is easily accessible. One of the power wires goes directly to the microswitch.
I have bought the same Gourmia Air fryer that seems to be dead. When i put Chickens in the Air fryer and plug it into the board it is not starting. We called out for service but they could not fix it. Could you tell me some tips which i can fix easily in my home.
Thanks! I fixed mine(same model) by watching your video. but the fryer's fuse blown out every couple of uses. Any idea? I use BF172 Aupo Thermal Fuse TF Cutoff 172C 110VAC /250VAC 10A.
Your unit is overheating. It could be many things, but I’d make sure the fan isn’t obstructed and airflow through the unit isn’t impaired. If it’s the thermostat or control board, it’s time to toss it in the junk heap and get a new, better designed air fryer.
If you read in the description, I recommend using crimps to minimize the risk of blowing the fuse by soldering, although I did get away with it as demonstrated. Only so much heat travels up the wire.
Excellent!!! quality in some way, it will be possible to send me the number of thermal fuse since I do not understand it very well to be able to send it to buy and be able to solve its great orientation, has been fantastic very grateful ,I hope your answer is possible,thanks in advance.
Hi If the resistance it self cutted can i weld it or repair it i mean the heater iside the fryer has two wire when i try to release the small piece where the wire connected its damage and broken with the inside resistance can i open small piece of the heater to reach the resistance again and connect with the wire is it possible. Please let me know
The thermal fuse is a very important safety feature. You don't want your house to burn down because you simply bypassed it. These Gourmia Air Fryers are poorly designed, so they tend to overheat. Without the thermal fuse, they would probably turn into an indoor bon fire.
Thanks for the video. I tried it on my air fryer and it worked after I replaced the thermal fuse. It worked for couple of das. Now I get E1 error when I plug my unit. Any idea what is causing it -Thanks
Different models may have various error codes. E1 can be caused by a bad thermal fuse, or other internal electrical problems. If your thermal fuses blow frequently, there may be other problems including obstructed ventilation, thermocouple sensor, or circuit board problem that are beyond the scope of this repair.
I have the 6qt. I opened it but couldn't find the fuse. It's hidden inside. I will need to remove every layers to get to it. I think they saw your RUclips video here and decided to hidden it🤣. Now I stucked. I can't remove the fan to get to it. 😏
Crimping is preferred. There is no need to risk blowing the fuse with soldering. There are links below to eBay listings for thermal fuses and suitable crimps.
The original thermal fuse has 18g solid wire terminals on each end. You can search eBay or Amazon for 192˚C thermal fuse and thermal fuse wire crimps. Some vendors even sell the thermal fuse and crimps as a set.
its outrageous that these thermal cutoffs are opening during normal operation. also, that they are not using self-resetting fuses. Obsolescence is designed in.
The fuse and crimps are inexpensive. The eBay listings are in the description. Bypassing this critical safety feature could result in a fire, or worse.
I had an issue with this Gourmia Air Fryer too. It won't turn on. The switch is good. And I found out the thermal was blown so I replaced it. But it still won't turn on. However, when I tapped on the relay, it turn on and off so I thought it must be the relay so I replace it as well. And it still won't turn on. Anyone has any idea what could be wrong?
There is the switch that senses the presence of the tray but you have probably reached a point of rapidly diminishing returns for resuscitating your Gourmia where the most cost effective option is replacement with a more durable air fryer.
@@whidbeyben Oh bummer. Well, thank you for the video I learnt from it for sure. If you are looking for video ideas maybe you could make one about what parts to salvage from appliances? Thats next for me... :/ :)
Thank you for this, another air fryer repaired. I can only imagine how many of these end up in the landfill.

Mine doesn't stop when the drawer is pulled out. I find this video clip useful for at least how to dissemble the air fryer to check the micro switch to see if it is still functioning. Otherwise, any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks for the video clip.
To access the microswitch that detects the presence of the drawer, you need to flip the Gourmia air fryer upside down and remove the bottom cover. There are 5 recessed but visible Phillips screws that hold it in place. With the bottom cover off, the microswitch is easily accessible. One of the power wires goes directly to the microswitch.
Check the Switch one of switch is bad because it is make in china
thank you. work's great
I have bought the same Gourmia Air fryer that seems to be dead. When i put Chickens in the Air fryer and plug it into the board it is not starting. We called out for service but they could not fix it. Could you tell me some tips which i can fix easily in my home.
Please view the video for the best advice if you want to attempt a repair yourself. If it isn’t the thermal fuse, it’s time to buy a better air fryer.
Thanks! I fixed mine(same model) by watching your video. but the fryer's fuse blown out every couple of uses. Any idea? I use BF172 Aupo Thermal Fuse TF Cutoff 172C 110VAC /250VAC 10A.
Your unit is overheating. It could be many things, but I’d make sure the fan isn’t obstructed and airflow through the unit isn’t impaired. If it’s the thermostat or control board, it’s time to toss it in the junk heap and get a new, better designed air fryer.
I have problem with my Power XL air fryer. every time i close the door the display touch screen goes on then it will go off immediately.
when you soldered the fuse in did you think about the heat applied to the fuse
If you read in the description, I recommend using crimps to minimize the risk of blowing the fuse by soldering, although I did get away with it as demonstrated. Only so much heat travels up the wire.
Excellent!!! quality in some way, it will be possible to send me the number of thermal fuse since I do not understand it very well to be able to send it to buy and be able to solve its great orientation, has been fantastic very grateful ,I hope your answer is possible,thanks in advance.
Hi
If the resistance it self cutted can i weld it or repair it i mean the heater iside the fryer has two wire when i try to release the small piece where the wire connected its damage and broken with the inside resistance can i open small piece of the heater to reach the resistance again and connect with the wire is it possible.
Please let me know
The thermal fuse is a very important safety feature. You don't want your house to burn down because you simply bypassed it. These Gourmia Air Fryers are poorly designed, so they tend to overheat. Without the thermal fuse, they would probably turn into an indoor bon fire.
big thanks
What is the problem of ambiano air fryer the timer is off but it still heating the power did not off
Congratulations! This is the video I needed to watch tonight. Fix it porn :-)
Thanks you sam problem
Thanks for the video. I tried it on my air fryer and it worked after I replaced the thermal fuse. It worked for couple of das. Now I get E1 error when I plug my unit. Any idea what is causing it
-Thanks
Different models may have various error codes. E1 can be caused by a bad thermal fuse, or other internal electrical problems. If your thermal fuses blow frequently, there may be other problems including obstructed ventilation, thermocouple sensor, or circuit board problem that are beyond the scope of this repair.
@@whidbeyben Thanks for quick reply
Just subscribed...
I have the 6qt. I opened it but couldn't find the fuse. It's hidden inside. I will need to remove every layers to get to it. I think they saw your RUclips video here and decided to hidden it🤣. Now I stucked. I can't remove the fan to get to it. 😏
Wonder why it overheated at first?
Please anyone, if you know the actual part number and the manufacturer of the thermal fuse and/or the precise specs it would be appreciated!
Mine coming with the butt connectors/crimps, do you still need to weld them? or connector will suffice as i dont have the welding gun?
Crimping is preferred. There is no need to risk blowing the fuse with soldering. There are links below to eBay listings for thermal fuses and suitable crimps.
What is the wire gauge on these fryers so I can purchase the right crimp connector?
The original thermal fuse has 18g solid wire terminals on each end. You can search eBay or Amazon for 192˚C thermal fuse and thermal fuse wire crimps. Some vendors even sell the thermal fuse and crimps as a set.
@@whidbeyben Thank you very much for your response , it was very helpful.
Do you have a SF188E FUSE there?
its outrageous that these thermal cutoffs are opening during normal operation. also, that they are not using self-resetting fuses. Obsolescence is designed in.
It's the temp sensor for the air fryer. Can't work without it
thank you I fix my gourmia, but I cant buy the fuse I was bridge the cable, can I??
The fuse and crimps are inexpensive. The eBay listings are in the description. Bypassing this critical safety feature could result in a fire, or worse.
will never buy gourmia again.
I had an issue with this Gourmia Air Fryer too. It won't turn on. The switch is good. And I found out the thermal was blown so I replaced it. But it still won't turn on. However, when I tapped on the relay, it turn on and off so I thought it must be the relay so I replace it as well. And it still won't turn on. Anyone has any idea what could be wrong?
There is the switch that senses the presence of the tray but you have probably reached a point of rapidly diminishing returns for resuscitating your Gourmia where the most cost effective option is replacement with a more durable air fryer.
Mine is a different model. Doesn't show the power button
I just replaced the fuse in mine (almost exact same model as yours) but it keeps turning on and all continuously. What could be the reason for that.
Sounds like a bad controller board or thermocouple. Time for the junk heap since it’s not cost effective to replace those.
@@whidbeyben Oh bummer. Well, thank you for the video I learnt from it for sure. If you are looking for video ideas maybe you could make one about what parts to salvage from appliances? Thats next for me... :/ :)
