Repair guides and information for air fryers.

Need tips on disassembly of Tower air fryer

The fryer doesn't power up. I've managed to get to the drawer switch and found it works. Trying to disassemble the rest of the fryer is impossible. The manufacturer gives absolutely no help of course.

What model air fryer do you have? I see that Tower makes different models.

Not very clever of me. The model is T17024.

Sorry, being new I don't understand what Add You Answer means. I was also trying to put in a photo but it came up with more questions.

Here's a teardown video that may or may not help.

I realize that it is for a different model i.e. T17079, but hopefully it still may give you some ideas how to open your model

FYI Here's how to add images to a question or answer in ifixit (it's the same procedure). You can't add images to comments. Voeg afbeeldingen toe aan een bestaande vraag

I finally managed to disassemble most of the fryer unfortunately it wasn't the mains fuse or the thermal fuse and seeing all the electronics inside I decided to give up. However, just in case anyone else comes up with a problem on this fryer, I thought I'd post a few pictures on how I did it. It may save someone some time and aggravation.

Top view.

The display panel is first to be removed. This view gives an idea of the clips underneath.

Block Image

The display comes off with the display board attached.

Block Image

There are four screw attaching the board to the display. These need separation so the the board can fit through the silver surround.

Block Image

This is showing the clips under the silver surround. It is a pain in the whatsit to take off. I only broke one of the clips.

Block Image

Having removed the surround I need to remove the board. Just two cables.

Block Image

With the board removed the eight screws can be removed. Note the position of the screws as there are four small and four bigger.

Block Image

This is where I got to and had to stop as my troubleshooting experience with electronics is lacking.

Block Image

From what I had read about air fryers, the usual problem is the drawer switch and this is where I started. This is the bottom view of the fryer and that sole screw is the first thing that has to be removed. I don't know if somebody else had attempted to unscrew it or whether the manufacturer purposely uses a screw for which there is no tool. With great pain I managed it.

Another six screws to remove.

Once this is removed, there is access to the drawer swtch

Good luck.

Hi @rodisi

Create a guide showing what you've done and then post it on ifixit.

That way it will be easier for people to find rather than trawling through all the answers trying to find it.

Here's how to do this How to Create a Guide

I'm sorry jayeff, I have just spent two hours trying to learn how to create the guide and to resize the photos to what is acceptable and the program still won't accept them. I may come back to it some day when I have the time and have calmed down. When I started creating the guide, every photo I inserted, the program wanted to crop it. So I'll come back another day.

@rodisi

Thank you for at least trying.

Cheers

No! I can't let the damned thing beat me. I don't understand why whatever resize I do of the original photo, the guide wants to crop it. As much as I appreciate the iFixit site I find it the most difficult that I have ever come across and I've been working with computers most of my life.

door

@rodisi

I have the same problem.

I take pictures and then even if taken at what I think is a suitable resolution (or I resize them to 800 x 600) and then try to post it in a guide it still wants to crop.

I don't know what the answer is yet.

If I find out I'll let you know

Cheers
