    Repairing faulty ANKO AO8606 air fryer

    Hi all,

    We have an ANKO AO8606 air fryer that suddenly no power. I pulled it apart and probed the AC-IN, but wasn't getting voltage (or continuity from the plug to the PCB in the air fryer).
    I dug further and found a thermal fuse in the middle. No continuity on the fuse (but continuity on the plug > fuse, and fuse > pcb. but no beep on the fuse itself.)

    Now looking to buy a replacement fuse and heat-resistance sleeve to see if that fixes things.




    Anyone know if this fuse will be ok?https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/18483244...YAAOSw7I9hK0S5

    ^ I can get 3x fuses (couple of spares) for $7, otherwise cheapest I've seen is 1x for $7.50 (Australian dollar)

    Also, the heat resistant sleeve. Are these ok,

      Re: Repairing faulty air fryer

      the fuses you linked are o.k. if the fryer isnt using over 10A

      just remember to not get the fuse hot while your fitting it - a classic noob mistake
      either freeze it before soldering or clamp a pair of grips or something to the lead to take away the heat.
      better yet - use crimp terminals.

          According to the sticker, it's 240v, 1800w. So that should be about 7.5amps?

          oh wow, thanks for the tip . The thermal fuse that was in there seemed to be crimped in,






          I've actually been looking at getting a pair of crimpers and some terminals. Just a basic set like this

          or
          https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/...=en_AU&start=1

          Nothing flash, but should do the job for someone who doesn't do much electronic work ?


          Thanks again

              You could do a quick check with your meter:
              Measure from both live and neutral to ground (if it has one) to make sure it is open.
              And then measure from live to neutral and make sure you have a sensible reading: for 1800w at 230VAC that would be around 30ohms for the heating element.

                  not too sure what you mean. Here a pic of what IO'm looking at. A couple of the connectors have been removed during the teardown.

                      The wires are labeled, just measure the AC wires to the green/orange ground wire to make sure the readings make sense (no connection).
                      And between the AC leads something in the range of 1800w as I wrote above.

                          A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
                          by corrize
                          Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
                          I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
                          The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
                          There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
                          And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...

                          Samsung UE46ES8000 Blown fuse but no other signs of short
                          by jesterace
                          Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the...

                          Help replacing fuse on my Mimaki CJV300-160 vinyl printer
                          by jshhh
                          Hi guys,

                          I'm inexperienced with electronics repairs, I've done a little bit of soldering caps and whatnot, but i have a blown fuse on this mimaki printer I got which I have bought a replacement for.

                          How do I remove this type of fuse (see picture)...it kinda looks like it would pull out of that bracket but it didn't come at first pull and I didn't want to brute force it incase it's soldered on there like most of the rest of the components.

                          Anybody know how to remove this type of fuse?

                          (The fuse is toward the bottom of the image labeled F2)...

                          Argon SA1 audio amplifier power-supply - fuse blown after fixing the short?
                          by Babbar
                          I found a project in the electronics trash yesterday. A nice Argon SA1 audio amp with some electrical issue. Took it apart and saw that the 4A250V fuse was blown so started lifting components to find the short. Eventually got to two MOSFETs (model FTA14N50C) that are shorted and when i took them out the short was gone.

                          Now i didn't have any replacements of the same model of course but i found a couple with pretty similar spec i thought (K10A60D & K12A50D) and put them in. Also replaced the blown fuse with a 3.5A250V one. Checked another time for short circuit and plugged it in....

                          ASUS X54H laptop no backlight
                          by flat-earther
                          Once upon a time I was casually browsing the World Wide Web with my ASUS X54H laptop which was sitting on my desk, when suddenly the screen turned black!
                          After several seconds, the screen turned on again! And so I continued to use my laptop as usual.

                          Some time later, the screen went black again! And it hasn't lit up since.
                          So here I am on a journey to repair it.

                          Not being an expert on how to repair, what I have done is searched the internet for help on a laptop screen not working, and I have checked some things.
                          I found out that with a flashlight...
