Repair guides and information for air fryers.

Instant Vortex Air Fryer's power turns on briefly, then goes off

Hi all. I'm attempting my first appliance repair with my Instant Vortex air fryer, and before I go taking it apart I was hoping to get some advice on how to logically diagnose and approach the problem.

The Problem

Upon plugging the air fryer into a household outlet, the display will beep and briefly turn on before displaying the message 'OFF', and then turning off completely and rendering the appliance unusable. Below is a video demonstrating the behavior.

Any suggestions on how to approach this problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm a total repair noob, so really appreciate the help!

Turned out that the door-open switch was bad and needed to be replaced and that solved the problem. Here is the video I found that shows how to fix it by replacing that switch.
