Important update! During the video I mentioned two split/lock washers where I wasn't sure which they went to since they were stuck together. Well, after the repair, the rubber bumper kept coming off the bottom and when I super-glued it back on. I then realized the rubber bumper had an internal lip. The washers weren't there to make sure it wouldn't come loose, but to leave a gap so the lip on the rubber bumper wouldn't pop off. Be sure to put both those back on the bottom bolt, then the nut and rubber cap!
@@cabezon6027 The two washers are simple stainless steel split washers. Bring one of your bolts to Lowe's or Home Depot, and you can pick up a package for about a $1. Probably split lock washers for 6-32 screws would be fine.
i just had to make a similar repair, the lock mechanism is fine (for now) but the screw fell out and that top nut got lost. i didn't even know there was only one rubber bumper, so i tried looking for it to no avail. i replaced it with a generic hex nut instead of the acorn-nut looking part that comes with the unit. thanks for the visual, clears it up a bit.
I was looking everywhere for the same thing, and I had jus had blueberries in the basket… They look too much alike! I thought we might have eaten the rubber cap in my blueberry pancakes….😂
Mario - thanks on the repair - the GoWise XL had same issue. I took it apart like you suggested. On the handle to basket assembly, the top nut is 8mm and the bottom nut is 10mm on handle to basket, each screw had a lock washer. Hidden behind handle bracket is a plastic plate that had four loose screws. Tightened them all up. Reassembled and back in business. Thanks!!!
Thank you Mario Monti your video helped us out "TREMENDOUSLY"! My husband enjoys using the GoWise Air Fryer. I thought that I would to throw it out. But, you saved the life of an Air Fryer 🙂. Great video! Much success to you in all you do. Thanks again!
Thanks so much Mario! You saved me from having to return the brand new GoWise I got my parents for Christmas. It malfunctioned like this the very first use and I wasn't happy at all. Great video and instructions! 😃👏
Glad it helped! If it was from this Christmas, I would still advise talking to GoWISE or Amazon if you bought it from them. They should send you out a new handle or basket. For longevity, support the back of the pan so not all the weight is on the handle.
@@m3rdpwr Yep, it was. First use out of the box too! I wonder if this is just an issue with the larger sized air fryers, since the basket has to support more weight. I bought the 5.8 quart one and it appears that yours is probably around the same size as mine.
@@lisamcnutt6504 There are two common issues. 1 - The Handle disengaging 2 - Pealing basket. These are considered expendable items on all these AF's. (GoWISE, PowerXL, TE, etc.) This is why I think you should contact Amazon or GoWISE. Don't let them off the hook!
Just an update on the parts prices... From GoWISE the handle is $24, basket is $20 & the basket with handle is $40 & basket handle & pan is $50 (as of 5-24-19) prices are rounded, Thanks for a great video....
Yeah, I mentioned that in newer videos that the price doubled. Not it's not worth buying the basket, since a new AF from them can be had for $72 and up on Amazon. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jennifer, I'm glad it helped! Yeah, I wish I had realized that about the washer, so I could have put it in the video. Most people don't read the comments or the updates. Mine came loose again recently, and I ended up using some loctite I had around not the permanent stuff, I think it's called blue loctite 242, medium strength. It hasn't loosened up again since then. So if I ever update the video I will add that information. I appreciate your support!
Thanks so much! Just got mine and it was stripped immediately. Ended up putting a larger screw in that I had laying around. Works as a temporary fix. Thinking I might need to rig a stronger fix eventually. Thanks again.
Are you saying it was stripped new out of the box? If that's the case, I would send it back. Apologies if I misunderstood, happy the solution is working for you.
Well I finally got around to trying your fix. First time I did myself and no luck. Basket is still disengaging. Second time I had my husband tighten the screws and everything seemed great, barely a gap. I put everything back together with high hope. Sorry to say it didn't work for me. The minute I wiggle my pan from right to left a few times the basket disengages. Since Amazon completely ignored my email I'm getting on the phone pronto! Thanks for the video assistance though!

Heh The money wasn't really the point, as it was pennies. It is fun to do, but if I can't grow as a channel, there isn't a drive for me to put out content regularly. I will do my best to continue though. Amazon is supposed to do something and they have trademarked some names, so we'll see what happens!
If your non-stick coating is coming off your basket... request warranty on it. The original warranty was 30 days which is ridiculous! However, due to the problems with the non-stick coating flaking off they will replace it up to 1 year. Even if you don't have the receipt they will go by the serial #. NOTE: You can use it just fine without the non-stick coating but when you wash the basket, be sure to dry it well or it will rust.
Oh, GoWISE has taken care of me. Watch my Gourmia series video, and then when GoWISE saw I was replacing theirs with another brand, they sent me a new Air Fryer! Sibling Rivalry I believe is the title where I mention this.
A lot of these manufacturers come off the same assembly line. There are so many brands that used this design. They finally did away with it and just put a shelf inside. That eliminates that one issue.
Hope Go Wise is paying you Mr. Monti. You are their answer for customer service by emailing the link to your video. They aren't even trying to fix this dangerous malfunction. They need to compensate you for this video.
Wow, they send my video link?! That's awesome! It can be dangerous, I broke a new pan from the malfunction. Would you mind copying in here what they said? I am curious. No biggie if you can't. BTW It's not just GoWISE, this is a common design from the same factory. PowerXL, a Todd English version, and some others. Everyone just adds their own, "lipstick" to the product. In fact, according to one person I know, the GoWISE I have, and the PowerXL can interchange pans and baskets. Thanks for watching, and I'm glad my video helped!
Oh, they are not paying me. However, in one video I do mention they sent me an AF at no cost, because I bought a different brand after the problem. I did do 1-1/2 years of videos of this AF, so I am sure that brought them a bit of sales.
If I recall correctly, both screws were the same size. Bring the remaining screw to your local hardware store and buy a little five pack of additional screws. Usually it's anywhere from a dollar to a $1.50.
The Power XL and several others come from the same factory. In fact, many of them can interchange the baskets and pans. Last time I tightened mine, I added a dab of Blue Thread-Locker, to see if it holds up longer. Thanks for watching!
I have a no name brand air fryer, it just says power air fryer on the top. and the plastic part that connects the handle to the basket is getting loose. I think it just needs tightening but if that doesn't help i'm gonna hit it with gorilla glue.
It may mean the Power Air Fryer XL. Since this repair, I've used medium strength thread-locker on the screws and that has fixed the loosening screw problem permanently. They are made on the same assembly lines and many parts interchangeable.
I've read that the baskets and handle accessories are interchangeable by one user. Typically PowerXL Parts can be had here: www.unitycarts.com/PAFO_Parts_PAOPARTTW/cart.aspx Sometimes GoWISE accessories work too, but not always. gowiseproducts.com/collections/accessories-parts?page=2
Nice video, Mario, but my problem is that the front of the basket raises up when holding it when it’s in the base and it’s difficult to get back in the machine without using two hands, one holding the fryer to dip the basket down. I’d had it for two years then stopped using it for two years (had a ninja Foodi) and I didnt have the problem before... thanks for any advice you could give me
First I would suggest making sure those screws are tight that I mentioned in the video that there is no gap. Also instead of putting the pan in straight, put it in with a scooping motion. Many have said this has helped them out.
@@furysmith6564 interested see the play involved with your pan. Maybe you can video it and throw it up on your RUclips space. I may be able to give you a better suggestion at that point.
@@furysmith6564 I am! If you look in the description for this video, you should see my Facebook page called Mario's Domain. I prefer to use that dedicated page for all Air fryer related things.
Right now, GoWISE is charging too much for just the handle, it was about $8 at one point, and now asking $25. Perhaps they will lower it again. www.gowiseproducts.com/collections/accessories-parts/products/replacement-basket-pan-and-or-handle-for-5-8-qt-gw22831-air-fryer?variant=14347693817891 PowerXL uses the same handle on some models, so you may want to look into that.
This is what’s wrong with mine and the top screw hole is stripped , it’s a new machine for me but can’t take it back, I don’t want to buy a new handle, I’m in Canada it’s $25 before shipping here. Any ideas how I might keep that screw in? I tried putting a bigger on in and it still happened.
@@m3rdpwr the top screw that holds the handle. Under the metal piece. I ended up putting some jbweld in the holes. Used it once so far and seems fine. Only time will tell. Lol
I just bought a gowise air fryer, second time using it and I'm already having problems closing the door. I am able to get it shut by slamming the thing closed but I'm afraid that will break the basket pan. What can I do?
Use a scoping motion when putting it in. After some uses, it will get easier. Also, when it gets hot, putting it back in can be difficult as well, especially when new.
5:14...they are springwashers, to keep tension on the nut to stop nut loosening through any slight vibrations of the equipment..PUT THEM BACK ON BEFORE THE NUT, YOU NUT.
Actually, they both only went on one of the bolts. They were acting as spacers for the rubber bumper on the bottom. It wasn't until after the video, I realized they both went on the same bolt. That's why I mentioned that in the description.
I should warn you that without the handle, it becomes difficult to remove and handle the pan/basket assembly. At one point, the handles were available for around $7.
Went through whole fix, worked great until I put the weight of the basket back on, little internal screw immediately stripped back out. It amazes me that there's not something more substantial holding it together than one 5/8" screw. Hell, even two more of them would be great. Not a knock to your fix, just the shoddy craftsmanship of it. And of course the replacement basket and handle for my $50 fryer is $40, I smell a scam
It used to be $25 for the whole set! This design is used by several others as well. (PowerXL, TE and some others.) Mine has backed off a few times. The last time, I added Blue Loctite 242 and it has been fine since. Do you have some bit sof plastic you can put in the hole and super glue it back in? You could than Loctite it.
@@m3rdpwr nah, I'm gonna ship the unit back to Amazon and upgrade. We got ours as a novelty "we probably won't use it that much" thing, but it ended up being a kitchen staple almost immediately. So gonna invest a bit more money and get something bigger and more versatile. Appreciate the response!!
The pan itself is clean, you can still see water droplets from bring hand washed. The metal handle itself is what dirty. If the biggest fault you can find with this video is that the handle is dirty, i don't know what to tell you. I use this thing sometimes several times a day, there are caked on greases that are stubborn.
Important update!

PowerXL uses the same handle on some models, so you may want to look into that.
@@m3rdpwr OK... THANKS
This is what’s wrong with mine and the top screw hole is stripped , it’s a new machine for me but can’t take it back, I don’t want to buy a new handle, I’m in Canada it’s $25 before shipping here. Any ideas how I might keep that screw in? I tried putting a bigger on in and it still happened.
Are you referring to the two screws that hold the handle to the basket, or the screws that fix the loose issue?
@@m3rdpwr the top screw that holds the handle. Under the metal piece. I ended up putting some jbweld in the holes. Used it once so far and seems fine. Only time will tell. Lol
@@aimeeaspery3896 Mine loosened a couple times.
Once I used Loctite, it didn't happen again.
It's plastic, so it will eventually fail again.
I just bought a gowise air fryer, second time using it and I'm already having problems closing the door. I am able to get it shut by slamming the thing closed but I'm afraid that will break the basket pan. What can I do?
Use a scoping motion when putting it in. After some uses, it will get easier. Also, when it gets hot, putting it back in can be difficult as well, especially when new.
Thank you so much !! Love a simple and FREE fix.
Vee Boone thank you for watching!, I appreciate your support!
Thank you!!! You are the man!! :-D
Thanks, glad it helped!
5:14...they are springwashers, to keep tension on the nut to stop nut loosening through any slight vibrations of the equipment..PUT THEM BACK ON BEFORE THE NUT, YOU NUT.
Actually, they both only went on one of the bolts. They were acting as spacers for the rubber bumper on the bottom. It wasn't until after the video, I realized they both went on the same bolt. That's why I mentioned that in the description.
I was just about to repair my air fryer, and thinking of making a video of it. Now that i see you did already I will not be making the video.
Do it!
Hello nice!
Jarda Jarouš Thanks!
lost my handle can i still cook without the handle
If it's like mine, it should still work. Just not as convenient.
I should warn you that without the handle, it becomes difficult to remove and handle the pan/basket assembly.
At one point, the handles were available for around $7.
Thanks.. great information
You're welcome!
Went through whole fix, worked great until I put the weight of the basket back on, little internal screw immediately stripped back out. It amazes me that there's not something more substantial holding it together than one 5/8" screw. Hell, even two more of them would be great. Not a knock to your fix, just the shoddy craftsmanship of it.
And of course the replacement basket and handle for my $50 fryer is $40, I smell a scam
It used to be $25 for the whole set!
This design is used by several others as well. (PowerXL, TE and some others.)
Mine has backed off a few times.
The last time, I added Blue Loctite 242 and it has been fine since.
Do you have some bit sof plastic you can put in the hole and super glue it back in?
You could than Loctite it.
@@m3rdpwr nah, I'm gonna ship the unit back to Amazon and upgrade. We got ours as a novelty "we probably won't use it that much" thing, but it ended up being a kitchen staple almost immediately. So gonna invest a bit more money and get something bigger and more versatile. Appreciate the response!!
@@tompadfoot3065 That's even better, I didn't realize you had just got it.
Let me know how it goes!
YUK! Wash that thing before you do videos.
The pan itself is clean, you can still see water droplets from bring hand washed.
The metal handle itself is what dirty.
If the biggest fault you can find with this video is that the handle is dirty, i don't know what to tell you.
I use this thing sometimes several times a day, there are caked on greases that are stubborn.
