The beauty of an air fryer is that it cooks food quicker and with fewer oils than traditional deep fryers. Unlikely you will find a household without an air fryer, for it has become the most convenient kitchen gadget to use.
However, it can be frustrating when you experience some error code problems while using this appliance.
The most common error code is E2. So, how do you fix an E2 error on an air fryer? It highly depends on the model of your air fryer because different brands display E2 error codes for various reasons. Therefore, this article will discuss other brands’ E2 error codes and how to solve the problem.
What does E2 error on my air fryer mean?
Several things can cause E2 errors on your air fryer. Understanding your air fryer brand is essential to knowing the E2 error code.
Can you operate your air fryer if it has an E2 error code? No, until you resolve the problem.
The E2 error code in your air fryer could mean:
- Fuse Short Circuit/ Sensor Damage
The fuse can get damaged, leading to an E2 error code. For the air fryers with anti-dry sensors, the air fryer will have an E2 error flashing when the sensors become loose.
- Thermal sensor failure
The thermal sensors fail when the air fryer’s pot gets clogged; thus no aeration and the sensors will not be able to function normally. The E2 error code will therefore flash on display.
- Overcrowded Baskets
If you have put more than the capacity of your air fryer basket or you have overfilled the basket, the air fryer can have an E2 error code.
- Air fryer Overheating
The air fryer easily gets damaged if it remains overheated for a long time in the cooking process. Too much cooking oil is one of the reasons that could make your air fryer overheat. Another reason is using the air fryer for a prolonged time. It will disrupt the air fryers functioning and, therefore, display an E2 error code.
- Air fryer Malfunction
Sometimes an air fryer will flash an E2 error code with none of those mentioned earlier. It means it is a system malfunction that you do not understand, as the most internal parts of your air fryer.
How do you fix an E2 error on an air fryer?
Are you experiencing an E2 error code on your air fryer? Here are some things you can do to fix it, depending on your air fryer’s brand.

- Overcrowded basket- Remove the basket and shake so that the ingredients can scatter and create some space. If the ingredients are too much, they might not cook evenly even if the air fryer cancels the E2 error code. The best solution to this is always using a big air fryer basket and putting the required amount of food in the basket according to the manufacturer’s instructions manual.
