    WARNING: Repairing your own cooking appliances can be dangerous. Repair at your own risk! I am not a repair professional.
    I had a Power Airfryer XL (amzn.to/31PCcWZ) that stopped working in the middle of cooking. Thinking it was something simple like a fuse, I took it apart to find the issue. Turns out, the safety switch had broken, so I found a replacement part on Amazon (linked above) and switched out the switch. The metal leads on the replacement part were a little too small, but by shoving aluminum foil into the wire connectors, I was able to get a snug fit without any soldering, and that did the trick! Speaking of which, did I mention I'm not a repair professional? Any repairs you do are your responsibility!
    Let me know if you find a better replacement switch! I'm sure there's something cheaper out there too. If searching, look for "SZM-C16-FC-63". "FA", seems to have the small leads. "FD" might work too.
    UPDATE: I found a replacement with the correct lead size and have updated the link: amzn.to/3hiJ84E or amzn.to/3bawEZU

    Hey Hey! It may be possible to fix your unit for $0!! I just followed the instructions to take my unit apart - and once I got access to my safety switch gizmo, I plugged in my unit to see if I could get the thing to run while my finger was firmly pressing the button - and she started right up! The little lever that the fryer tray presses into the switch just wasn't pressing it hard enough. I just took some tin foil, and wrapped it real good around the button on that safety switch (while my finger was firmly pressing it) - and now I can open the unit without the thing turning off lolololol. If I want it to stop cooking I'll just unplug it, simple enough. We'll see how this affects the switch down the road, I've got a couple more I ordered so I'm not too worried about it. Best of luck to you all and your beloved fryers!

    The best video. Saved me $95. The replacement switch I bought is $4.99 on amazon. It is the one with the little red Safety button. I found is by searching k-16 switch. Some air fryer bottoms come off easier than others. Mine after removing the screws I had to be very forceful with a flathead to pry open to gain access to switch. Only thing I would change on the video is don’t use tinfoil. Take your pliers and slightly crimp the two ends coming out of the fryer that slide onto the switch before sliding them on. The new switch leads are slightly smaller and will slide right off. I also used electrical tape after I got them securely on just to be on safe side. Good luck and this is the first video I have ever responded to as this guy actually permanently fixes the problem. Thank u.

    • @brassmonkery6222
      @brassmonkery6222  4 года назад

      Agreed, the most important thing is that there is a secure connection, otherwise the connection could get too hot and be a safety hazard.

    THANK YOU so much for posting this video, my air fryer (same model) stopped working in the middle of operation tonight. IT WAS THIS SWITCH!!
    instead of ordering a new one i popped opened the switch itself and saw the mechanical motion of the button press was no longer completing the circuit, so i bent the metal inside slightly with pliers so that it would again (and not too bent so the switch would still deactivate when the button is not pressed) up i'm back up and cooking with normal tray on/off functionality! again thank you for the video, i never would have guessed its the switch! have a fantastical day :D

    I just fixed my airfryer thanks to this guide. A TIP for opening the clamp is in between the bottom of the clamp where you feel there is a gap in the middle. At the end of that middle is a small latch that if you press down, it will release the clamp. I only knew this because the heat ripped away the material of the chord connected to the box.

I removed the cover of the micro switch and the re-shaped the spade connections inside the switch housing and it works now with no issues. The Normally Open contacts were not making the electrical connection when the basket was inserted to the air fryer. Simple fix for anyone that is handy if you run into this issue.

    • @brassmonkery6222
      @brassmonkery6222  3 года назад

      Hmmmm... maybe the connection with the metal connectors isn't good? or possibly it's a bad replacement switch? The general concept is that it's a safety switch, the idea is that by pushing the basket in, it presses the safety button of the switch (which allows electricity to flow) so that it's only on while the basket is inside. So, it either must not be properly pushing the button, or the electric current isn't able to flow through the switch (even when the button is pressed).

      Mine just turned off and seemed like it wouldn't power on at all. One way you can test if it's the safety switch before buying a replacement is to remove the old switch and connect the wires directly together (while it's safely unplugged of course) then plug it back in and see if it turns on. If so, then it's the safety switch and you can buy a replacement. Or not, and just keep using it at your own risk.

      You need "normally open" which means the device doesn't turn on unless the button is pressed, in this case, when the basket is inside the device which presses the button. Yes, the one linked in the description is "normally open" however I'm unfamiliar with your model, so you'd need to measure the dimensions to make sure it'd fit.

    The switch controls the power from the cord. When you open and shut the basket with it running it causes an arc across the contacts in the switch. It will last longer if you turn off before opening basket.

      That's a pretty good theory. I noticed that a lot of current is running through that safety switch line, pretty sure they couldn't have designed it better but they went cheap.

      There's several links now as I keep having to update the links as they sell out. Can you send me the link to the one you purchased? All of my links in my description are T130, so that's an indication that the seller might have sent you the wrong part. But whether it's T130 or T120 isn't actually as important as whether it's a " SZM-V16-FC-63". Could you also send me the identifier of your part?

      If it's still on and it's not cooking then something is likely wrong with the heating element or it's connection. Replacing the safety switch like shown in the video will not solve that.

    Mine broke the same way. Inside the switch the metal piece that pushes the red button out was broken. Very thin piece of metal. I fixed mine by bypassing the switch. If you put the 2 plugs together the fryer will work again. Just don't open it while it is on because it will stay on! Make sure you turn it off before pulling the tray out.

    • @brassmonkery6222
      @brassmonkery6222  4 года назад +1

      It did not, the only way to power it was to fix the broken switch. At your own risk, you can test if it's the switch by connecting the wires with a multimeter, or otherwise safely shorting them. The switch just connects and disconnects the wires in a safe fashion. Using the multimeter, you should see that current flows through the switch when the button is pressed.

    HERE'S THE DEAL FOLKS. The switch is bad because the points inside are burnt. Use a single edge razor blade (BE CAREFUL TO NOT CUT YOURSELF) and seperate the two halves of the on/off push button assembly. The part that is protruding will fall out so be careful and watch not to lose it. Now take the point of a fairly sharp object and scrape the area clean on both surfaces that make contact. Reasemble and voila' it is fixed. May not last but the wife just expressed her gratitude. Called me McGyver.

  • @ericflasterstein503
    @ericflasterstein503 Год назад

    It looked like you stuffed some aluminum foil into the female connector to make it fit tighter. This is not recommended. While it will work, the dissimilar metals will eventually create a resistance, create heat, and the connection deteriorate. You can use pliers instead to increase the grab of the female connectors. Or do similar to what you did but use solder on one side of the female connector - otherwise, Excellent!

      Nope, it wasn't powering on at all for me. I switched out the safety switch just so it would actually power up. 'E1' looks like an error message, which I'd assume is unrelated to the safety switch. I would try researching to see if that error message was common and if it had a common fix. Maybe their tech support would know?

      Hmmm that must be a different problem. The safety switch I replaced will keep the entire thing from turning on. I'd guess the heating element is broken or disconnected. I doubt it's a fuse, unless the heating element has it's own fuse and that happened to burn out.

      One can technically bypass it by connecting the two wires together, soldering the ends together for a good connection. Warning: the airfryer will stay on even when the basket is removed once the wires are permanently connected. Do so at your own risk.

      Ouch! The same part or different problems? I think part of the issue for the switch is that a lot of current flows through it (surprisingly), so you need to make sure you have a really good connection and perhaps look for a switch that's rated for a higher current.
