    • Bill of materials required for the test:

    • Multimeter with a 200K Ohm scale.

    • Sewing needles, since the probe connector is quite small.

    • A strip of electrical tape.

    • Insert 2 sewing needles into the 2 connector terminals as shown in image 1.

    • Connect one end of an alligator clip to each one of the sewing needles and connect the other end of the wire to the multimeter as shown in image 2.

    • Place some electrical tape in between the red and black alligator clips to electrically isolate them from each other as shown in image 3.

    • The two alligator clips should be electrically isolated as shown in the image.

    • Check the initial reading: At 25ºC (or anywhere near that temperature), the thermistor must have a resistance of roughly 100K Ohms.

  10. Xiaomi Air Fryer NTC thermistor failure – Error E1: step 10, image 1 of 2 Xiaomi Air Fryer NTC thermistor failure – Error E1: step 10, image 2 of 2
    • Apply heat to the thermistor/probe using a heat gun or a lighter. The probe resistance readings should gently decrease as the temperature increases. Since this one is damaged, it works unpredictably. Refer to the video for more clarification.

    • Youtube video that goes explaining each step, comparing the behavior of a malfunctioning probe with a normal one.

Conclusion

The disassembly of the machine and the extraction of the probe are detailed in another guide I have written.

Excellent clear guide. I have a Philips Essential XL HD9280 Airfryer, will it also have a 200K Ohm NTC Thermistor. I guess they are fairly generic in terms of design.

I'd try with a 100K Ohm NTC thermistor instead of a 200K since they are more commonly used. Try measuring the resistance with a multimeter at room temperature to see if it is within the vicinity of 100K or 200K and buy an NTC thermistor with a similar value. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Excelente guía clara. Tengo una Philips Essential XL HD9280 Airfryer, ¿tendrá también un termistor NTC de 200K Ohm. Supongo que son bastante genéricos en términos de diseño.

Todas las freidoras de aire son muy similares, casi seguro tiene uno similar o el mismo.

Yo probaría con un termistor NTC de 100K Ohm en lugar de uno de 200K ya que son los más utilizados. Prueba a medir la resistencia con un polímetro a temperatura ambiente para ver si está en el entorno de 100K o 200K y compra un termistor NTC con un valor similar. No dudes en preguntar si tienes alguna duda.
