Independent, source-linked consumer check

Tower air fryer fan not working?

Work out the next safe action from the model label and what you can observe from outside. This is not a diagnosis of a motor, fuse or circuit board.

Before any test: A UK safety recall covers specific batches of six Tower models. If you have smoke, a burning smell, a damaged plug or cable, switch off and unplug when safe. Do not keep cooking without confirmed fan operation.

1. Identify and check the appliance Exact model from the external rating label

Unplug before looking at the label. A product name or capacity is not enough.

Have you checked the current official recall notice?

Check the current UK safety notice and Tower recall instructions. This page does not certify recall clearance.

Any smoke, burning smell, sparking, melting, damaged plug/cable, or uncertain warning sign?

2. Record external observations

Display or power indicator

Normal fan sound or airflow

Heat during normal operation

Drawer or basket

Do not run the appliance just to fill in unknown fields. Never touch a hot vent or try an internal test.

What this check can and cannot do

It distinguishes a power issue, an absent fan, a heating issue, a drawer-setting issue and an uncertain observation. It cannot confirm an internal fault or replace the exact model manual and Tower support. Tower's no-power article also describes an advanced casing check; this consumer tool deliberately excludes that step.
