E2 error code on an air fryer

Temperature sensor short circuit

The temperature sensor has short-circuited. Cosori's manual, for example, lists E2 this way, next to E1 for an open circuit in the same sensor.

Also shown as E02

Worth repairing?

Usually replace

Replace the fryer, unless it's under warranty. Sensor repairs cost more than the appliance on most models.

Can you do it yourself?

Engineer only

Not a DIY job

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, in case it was a one-off reading.

When it isn't worth fixing

If the code comes straight back, the sensor or its wiring has failed. Cosori's advice is to contact its customer support, and on most air fryers a repair costs more than a new one.

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.

Good to know

  • Air fryer makers use these codes less consistently than other appliances. If your manual says something different, the manual wins.

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.
