Introduction

Use this guide to replace the lightbulb inside of a Bella Pro 90246 12.6-qt. Digital Air Fryer Oven.

The lightbulb inside the air fryer is used to check the cooking status of your food. Without this working, you face the risk of cooking too long and burning your food. Following this guide will help you disassemble the air fryer to locate the light bulb, complete the replacement, and extend the use of your air fryer.

Before you start the lightbulb replacement, it is important to gather all the necessary tools listed in the “What you need” section of the guide. You will need to purchase a new Halogen GY6.35 light bulb that is an exact fit for the circuit. Before you begin disassembly, make sure your air fryer is unplugged, and then you're ready to begin.

Step 1

Make sure your air fryer is unplugged to avoid the risk of being electrocuted.
Gather your materials to begin disassembly.

Step 2

Use the metal spudger to pry off the protective lid on all four sides.

Step 3

Remove the three 9.5 mm screws on the top of the air fryer that hold the plastic cover in place using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Step 4

Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 34.9 mm screws that are located inside the round holes on the corners of the plastic cover.
You may need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the screws from the deep set holes.

Step 5

Open the door.

Press the button underneath the hood to release the mechanism that holds the door in place.

Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the three 25.4 mm screws under the hood.

Step 9

Hold the top of the air fryer into place while carefully moving it back to its up-right position.
After removing the screws, the top will be loose. Hold firmly to avoid damage to any wire connections underneath the plastic cover.

Identify the grey electrical cable attached to the circuit board.
Press firmly on the cable head's tab to release the connection.
Carefully wiggle the cable head to disconnect the wire from the circuit board without damaging it.

The light bulb is made of glass and can be fragile. Handle with care to avoid injuring yourself with broken shards of glass.
Lift the light bulb circuit out of the plastic slot and remove the burnt out light bulb by pulling gently.
