My Pro Breeze air fryer (4.2L Digital), about 6 months old — it switches itself off part way through cooking and I have to keep pressing start again. Is it worth repairing or should I just replace it?

If a 6‑month‑old Pro Breeze air fryer is cutting out mid-cycle, I would not rush into a repair. At that age it is far more likely to be a fault that should be dealt with under the retailer or manufacturer guarantee, unless it turns out to be something simple like the drawer not making proper contact.

A few checks worth doing first:

1. **Check the basket/drawer is seating fully** Many air fryers stop heating if the drawer microswitch loses contact. Make sure the basket and drawer are fully home and not being pushed back out by an overfilled basket or a warped tray.

2. **Try a different socket** Plug it directly into a wall socket, not an extension lead. A poor connection or overloaded extension can cause intermittent cut-outs.

3. **Watch exactly what turns off** If the whole display goes dead, suspect a supply issue, thermal cut-out, loose connection or faulty control board. If the display stays on but cooking stops, that points more towards a door/drawer switch or control fault.

4. **Check for overheating** Make sure the vents are clear and the fan is running normally. If it cuts out more often on longer or hotter cooking programmes, an overheating thermostat/thermal protector could be tripping.

5. **Consider warranty before opening it** At only 6 months old, opening it up may affect your claim. In the UK, I’d strongly suggest contacting the retailer first and asking for a repair, replacement or refund under warranty/consumer rights.

Always isolate the appliance from the mains before inspecting any internal parts. If internal electrical testing or repair is needed, use a qualified engineer. Realistically, on a 6‑month‑old air fryer, warranty replacement is usually the better option than paying for repair.
