Fix Your Air Fryer: Why Your 2021 Cosori CP158-AF Won’t Turn On After Cleaning
Why Your Cosori CP158-AF Air Fryer Won’t Turn On After Cleaning
After cleaning your 2021 Cosori CP158-AF air fryer, you might notice it suddenly won’t power on. Don’t panic—this is a common issue caused by the safety microswitch not being triggered properly.
Main Causes:
- Improper reassembly of the basket or drawer
- Moisture around the internal safety switch
- Unplugged or loose internal connector
How to Fix It – Step-by-Step
1. Double-Check the Basket Alignment
Ensure the basket is fully inserted and clicks into place. The safety switch relies on correct drawer alignment to allow power flow.
2. Let It Dry Completely
If you used water near the control panel or drawer cavity, unplug the unit and let it dry for 24 hours. Moisture can block the safety contact.
3. Reset the Safety Circuit
- Unplug the air fryer for 5 minutes
- Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds
- Plug it back in and test
4. Open the Casing (Advanced)
Warning: Only proceed if your device is out of warranty.
Remove the back panel to check if the microswitch connector is loose. Reconnect if needed and secure with electrical tape.
5. Contact Cosori Support
If all else fails, contact Cosori Support with your serial number. They often send replacements if the unit is under warranty.
Prevention Tips
- Never submerge the base in water
- Dry all components thoroughly before reassembly
- Avoid pressing the control panel with wet hands
Fixing a Cosori CP158-AF that won’t turn on is often a quick DIY job. Follow these steps and you’ll likely avoid expensive repairs or replacements.
