E1 error code on an air fryer

Temperature sensor fault

A temperature sensor fault. Cosori's manual, for example, lists E1 as an open circuit in the temperature sensor.

Also shown as E01

Worth repairing?

Usually replace

Replace the fryer. On all but premium models the repair costs more than a new one.

Can you do it yourself?

Not practical at home

Before you start

  • Unplug it before you touch anything inside.
  • Let it cool completely first.

What to do

  1. Unplug it for 15 minutes

    Then try again. That sometimes clears a one-off reading.

When it isn't worth fixing

If the code comes straight back, the sensor has failed. On most air fryers the repair costs more than the unit is worth.

Before you replace it
  • Check whether it's still under warranty. The maker or the shop may replace it for free.
  • Note the model number (it's on a label on the underside) so you can compare like with like.

If you're replacing it

Compare a few models before you buy.

About this code

Unbranded and less common appliances don't publish one shared code list, so this page gives the most common meaning across makers. Your manual is the final word, and the model number that finds it is on a label on the underside.
