All the reasons and solutions in detail:

The first thing you should check whenever your GoWise air fryer is not heating up is whether have you set the cooking temperature to be too low. Too low cooking temperature setting can be the first cause of your GoWise air fryer not heating up food.

If you set the cooking temperature too low, then change it and set the cooking temperature correctly. If needed, read your GoWise air fryer instructions manual to find the specific cooking temperature for specific food recipes or search on Google to learn the specific cooking temperature for a specific food recipe.

2. Check If The Timer Has Not Been Set Or The Cooking Time Is Too Short:

If you don’t set the cooking timer or set it for a very short time than your food recipe needs, then your GoWise air fryer won’t heat up your food recipe.

Sometimes, you may forget to set the cooking timer or can set the cooking timer for a very short time. It is your problem but not your GoWise air fryer problem. 

So, check your GoWise air fryer and check if you have set the cooking temperature and it has been set for a very short time. If it has not been set, then set it. If the cooking timer is set for too short time, then set it correctly depending on your food recipes. If needed, read your GoWise air fryer user guide for assistance.

3. Check If The Drawer/Basket Is Closed Completely:

If your GoWise air fryer drawer or basket is not closed completely, then it won’t heat up your food recipes. So check the basket and ensure you have closed it properly. If needed, read your GoWise air fryer user manual for tips.

If your GoWise air fryer basket is not closed properly, then contact the GoWise air fryer customer support team and inform them about the issue if your GoWise air fryer is still under warranty. If its warranty is over, then take your GoWise air fryer to a technician to solve the basket closing issue.

4. Check If The Air Fryer Is Plugged In Properly:

If you forgot to plug in your GoWise air fryer or cannot plug in your air fryer properly with the power source (power outlet), then your GoWise air fryer won’t turn on and heat up your food recipes.

In this case, check your GoWise air fryer charger and ensure it is plugged into the power source and also it is securely plugged in with the power source.

5. Check If There Is Power Present In The Power Source:

Another thing, if you plug your air fryer with a power source properly, then check the power source and ensure that there is power present in the power source. If needed, use another power source (power outlet).

6. Check If Your GoWise Air Fryer Heating Element Has Broken Or Damaged:

The heating element is the main part of your GoWise air fryer for heating up the food recipes. If it has broken or got damaged due to excessive use or careless use, then your GoWise air fryer won’t heat up.

Open up your GoWise air fryer and examine its heating element, ensure that its heating element is in good condition and working well. If the heating element and its coil become damaged, then replace the heating element immediately.

If you have no experience in opening an air fryer or checking its heating element, then take a kitchen appliance repair expert’s help or contact the GoWise customer care team if your GoWise is still under warranty.

7. Check If The Wirings Is Okay Inside Your GoWise Air Fryer:

If the wires inside your GoWise air fryer become damaged or burn out for several causes or they lose their connections with each other, then your GoWise air fryer will start showing issues like not heating up.

If there is any faulty wire or loose connections between the wires, then replace the faulty wire with new wire and tighten the loose wires.

If you cannot do this yourself, then take your GoWise air fryer to an appliance repair shop to fix the issue, or contact the GoWise authority for assistance if your GoWise air fryer is still under warranty.

8. Check If Your GoWise Air Fryer Power Cord Is Damaged:

Your GoWise air fryer power cord/charger is an electric component and as an electric component, it can malfunction at any time. If it starts malfunctioning, it will not supply sufficient power to the air fryer and then your GoWise air fryer will start malfunctioning, like not powering on, not working, not heating up, display not working, buttons not working, and more.

So, check your GoWise USA air fryer power cord and ensure that the power cord is in good condition and working well. To be sure the power cord is malfunctioning, use another power cord in the same power outlet or another power outlet in your house. If the power cord has become damaged, replace the malfunctioning or damaged power cord immediately with a new one.

10. Check If The Power Source Is Overloaded:

Sometimes, an overloaded circuit may also be a cause of your GoWise air fryer not heating up food. This can happen when you use multiple appliances on the same power source/circuit at the same time.  So to solve the overloaded power source issues, unplug other appliances from the power source when you have plugged your air fryer and see if your GoWise USA air fryer starts heating up.

11. Check If The Air Fryer Basket Is Overloaded.

If you overload your GoWise air fryer basket with too much food, then it can be a cause of your GoWise USA air fryer not heating up. So check your air fryer basket and reduce food from it if required.

Keep in mind that your air fryer requires a sufficient amount of air to function properly.
