T Fal Air Fryer Disassembly and Troubleshoot - Faulty Heating Element.

How to disassemble a T Fal Air Fryer. A little troubleshooting and we find the problem. If I can find the replacement element, I should be able to fix this air fryer

Good on you Andy. So many people would just bin it and order a new one.

[@Tobinindustrial]

Thanks Fred. I may have located an element but it is rated 220V. I think it should still work on 120V but I am getting confirmation now.

[@Tobinindustrial]

@SNAKE RADIO CUSTOMS Yep, I can only find 220V elements so far. The actual element is available at Alibaba but I need to buy 1000 pieces. Another place I would need to order 100.

So where's part two?

[@garykane2512]

Thanks Andy, just fixed mine.

[@Tobinindustrial]

Congrats on the repair. Did the element fail or was it a connection issue?

[@l7ocmichael0lefebvre54]

How did you remove the top, the digital controls and display panel?

[@Tobinindustrial]

I cannot recall but if you study th eunit closely and slowly, you'll figure it out. I am so sorry I cannot recall. It has been a while my friend. I still have the unit. If need be, I will revisit the unit. Let me know if you get stumped on this.

[@mohammed88air]

they don’t split because there is a nut in the center of the fan to attach it to the shaft of the motor

[@Tobinindustrial]

Thank you so much for that information. It is much appreciated.

[@martijn208]

how did you remove the top plate?

[@Tobinindustrial]

I cannot recall now how I did that.

[@michaeljohnston9085]

If your referring too the panel with the control panel it just pops off. Literally just watched it to find that out so I could clean the intake. Thank you good sir.

Andy I need to replace my fan as 2 of the blade edge looks like little needles instead of a blade tip which is causing a slight wispy noise. However after trying stores like screw fix and even eBay I cannot for the life of me find a teal precision fan or even a compatible fan to replace mine. Any ideas? TY

[@Tobinindustrial]

I would think that any fan that will mount and clear the housing would work. I suspect your blades are plastic...
My blade is a solid piece of tin metal. I am thinking that you might be able to rmove the fan section and carefully use metal snips and cut a new fan out with good measurement and cutting. It would be difficult to balance I guess but I am not sure where you'd find a replacement fan.

[@samtoddjr5606]

@@Tobinindustrial thanks m8 but my fan is metal, standard. I doubt you could have a plastic fan 1cm from an oven element!

[@Tobinindustrial]

I don't understand what caused your blades to turn to needles so I assumed it was just plastic. Can the metal blade be reconditioned?

[@samtoddjr5606]

Dunno. It’s on the end of 2 blades, metal is 1mm of jet black then the little pins sticking out of what should be just a sharp end of a fan blade.
Really odd.
