Great video! Gives you a general idea of the components used in most of these air fryers and how to easily dissemble for a DIY deep cleaning. Thanks for sharing !
Awesome! This is EXACTLY the video I wanted. Thank you so much for this.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent "how-to". Thanks!
Being able to the deep clean the air fryer is essential sooner or later. Thanks! I was surprised that the disassembly was this simple and straightforward; without a lot of special custom screws unique for this product. I dug into my toolbox and saw that I even already had the T15 Torx screwdriver too. Thanks again! 😃👍
This is great! I figured out the first layer out but stopped when got to the heating coil. THANK YOU for taking it 2 more levels down you are awesome!
Also ... note to self ... even a tiny cake round on the top shelf of the air fryer basket is too close to the heating coil!
Thank You for this I’ve had my pro crisp for over a month now and never thought to clean the inside of the lid.
Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you, very thorough!
Well done! I've cleaned my stove once that way.
That was excellent. Thank you, sir
Excellent job
just what I wanted to learn about. Thank you!
I inherited a Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer by default, meaning it was left behind. Oh man, it was NASTY!! I looked at the lid and decided it could be disassembled. Decided to check for video to see if I was on the right track with my thinking. I'm glad I did because, I would have lost the burner wires in the top. Thank you for an informative how to video!!!
Your video is terrific! I don't have this appliance yet as I had concerns about keeping it clean. You have made my worries go away! Excellent video, especially like your close up frames. Cheers, Dave
Glad I can help!
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the video
I liked the fan trick! Dirty any thing..Nooooo! Super helpful video. Thanks! I’m subscribing, you might have more tips & tricks😊
Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I THOUGHT I HAD TO DEAL WITH THE GREASE STAINS THAT DIDN'T COME OFF AFTER WIPING DOWN. NOW I SEE THAT I DON'T! YAAAYYYY!!!
Great video!
I followed your instructions, what I did find was that the 3 screws that hold the element guard in place need a star shaped bit to undo them.
The nut that holds the fan in place: to undo, the nut turns clockwise, so remember when putting the fan back in place you need to tighten the nut COUNTER CLOCKWISE otherwise the nut will not fit - I forgot this and spent a couple of hours wondering why the nut would not fit lol! 😅😅😅😅
As with most fans, the securing nut always tightens in the opposite direction that the fan spins - I forgot this - rookie mistake😂😂
I didn't remove the element, just the screw holding it in place, the wires connected to my element are too short to do this safely.
I now have a pristine airfryer lid that looks like new.
Thanks for showing me how to do this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice !
Thank you for making this video! It was the only way I was able to clean my Insta pot or my wife!
I really hope you only cleaned the instant pot 😂
Thx..
hey can you show removal of the top lid from the unit. thank you great info
Hi, great video! My current problem is that the lid still gets hot, but the fan does not run anymore. Is it worth disassembling the lid as shown, or is the problem more likely found in the bottom electronics of the unit. I read about 'thermal fuses'.....Is there one for the heater and one for the fan?
Good Job they should have given us a burner that unplugs
This is great! How did you remove the lid from the body?
I love instant pot! But they need to upgrade the air fryer lid to make cleaning easier we need just to unplug the coil part the screws part just need to be locked and unlocked to clean hopefully they upgrade soon because cooking in instant pot is amazing! Absolutely amazing!
Muchas gracias. 😊😊😊😊
De nada!
This is a very good video! However, I've a PSA for everyone: I've bought an instant pot Duo Crisp (end of 2021), and wanted to clean the air fryer lid. The lid LOOKS very similar to this one, but unfortunately it was designed to be infinitely more complex to take apart for cleaning. The heater coil cannot be taken out from the bottom, etc. After you unscrew the heater coil and the sensor, a number of things will start to rattle in the INSIDE of the pot, and parts will start to fall out (spacers, etc.).
I'll see if I'll be able to take it apart & put it together from the top side, but this is very bad design compared to the one shown in the video. Who the hell designs an air fryer which cannot be deep cleaned?!
Agree 100%, it shouldn't be this hard to clean!
Were you able to get yours put back together right? I ended up with loose spacers or something and can't screw the heat element back down.
@@dynamicdog1535 Same problem here! did you have any luck?
Well I f***d up. Just like you, I thought I'd be able to take my 6 qt Crisp air fryer lid apart as shown in this video until that heater coil didn't come out. Now I can't put it back together properly because the bolt that was holding the heater coil down has nothing to grab onto on the other side of the shield.
Were you ever able to get it apart from the other side? I've tried and haven't had any luck :/
I was on the verge of yanking my coil out because it wasn't pulling up like the one in the video. Mine also didn't have as many screws in the base plate.
I don't know what type of lock-tite they used on the fan screw, but I couldn't get it to budge.
I really wish it wasn't this hard to clean.
Hi. I wanted to use Air fryer the other day but I noticed that the fan wasn’t moving at all so I heated up a little bit the lid and then I started to move the fan with my finger until it the fan was moving whiteout resistance. The thing is when I started the Air fryer the sound was terrible it seems like it was going to take off or break. Do you think a little grease or oil in the fan axis will help?
Just found this and will follow through when the time comes to clean the lid. Excellent video - well explained and recorded.
I was wondering, have you tried to wash/disassemble a Keurig coffee maker?
Glad you like the video! Sorry, we don't have a Keurig machine, otherwise I would have done a video as well.
Do you have a fix if the fan stops turning?
How did you separate the lid from the body?
How to put the instant pot led together
Excellent job. This would pass a health inspection. The Foodi apparently cannot be so easily disassembled and eventually the gunk builds up.
There was a light layer of oil/grease on the gasket. I realized it was uniform throughout the contact area after cleaning it. Anyone know if this is from the factory or from use? Started think after cleaning it that it might need it but I already wiped it off.
Hi, I like your video! The only thing missing is how to get the lid off in the first place, please can you help? Thanks. Cheers Chris
Thanks for the Video. Only doing Research before purchasing my first Pressure Cooker. Perhaps I should wait another year for these Brands to figure out how to clean their Products. This is truly ridiculous. I'm way too much of a "clean freak" to know I have to completely disassemble & then REBUILD my Unit ! I probably can't wait, so I'll just have to find a PC that doesn't offer an Air Fryer! (maybe you should send this to "Instant Pot" HQ's so they can see what their Customers have to go thru - talk about Loyalty! & this Unit seems easier than the Ninja Foodi!)
I bought this unit but have not used it yet. This video is excellent with a clear demonstration and I thank you for your consideration to make other Instant Pot users aware of this information. This is due diligence that I needed before moving ahead.
I think my next move will be to return the Instant Pot Duo Cooker & Air Fryer because this is way more work than I was aware was needed to clean it. A simple wipe down just won’t be sufficient and waiting until the warranty period passes before attempting to take it apart for thorough cleaning and then hopefully get it back together and working properly is too risky for my liking.
Thanks again for posting! Much appreciated!
So you save some time for cooking and invest it into cumbersome cleaning and re-/assembling ;-) anyway thanks for sharing :) I hope that the manufacturers come up with more cleaning friendly devices.
Ya, we didn't know it would be this complicated to clean, otherwise we won't purchase it.
At least you can do it. And now we can too. Thanks so so so much
I tried soaking the top plate (held by the first three screws) in Dawn w/ hot water for two hours. Doesn't get the grease off. Would really like to know what to soak the parts in. How long? what percentages - how much baking soda. Do we simmer the water/ vinegar mix on the stove.
For all the take apart and re-assemble instructions. - I can't pull up the heating coil on my instant pot lid, and I haven't yet been able to get the first plate as clean as the video implies.
I'm fairly certain that the detachable lid is actually a plus over the foodie even the new one that they have with the multi-lid. It appears to have the element just straight exposed without even a cover but you don't really know what's going on under the lid because well I haven't seen a video and it's rather expensive just to figure out that it is actually exposed
Wish I didn’t have to, but own 2 and on lid #1 I found I need to go the next layer and not sure where to go next … 1 I lost a screw down terminal connects & #2 TONS MORE GREASE… anyone have a video with next steps ??
mine has a different heating element. cant remove
How to take the cover off the pot ?
Thanks for video. Question, mine regularly “loses connection” sometimes and gives “Lid” error. It causes the fam to kick off. I have to press down on the back area to have it turn back on. Do you know of any solution to this? I’ve reached out to instant pot but got zero response.
No, we haven't had any lid issues 😕
Hi how long had you used it before cleaning it? Thanks for sharing!
I have to wash it after 2 months, mainly due to the heavy usage to make these two videos czcams.com/video/D3EvYAsNQwk/video.html, and czcams.com/video/4iI0_AYP0kg/video.html.
After 2 years I definitely don't have a warranty. I'm going to try your idea on my Ninja Foodi. After 2 years or maybe it's been 3 years, mine is pretty yucky.
Thank you! I’ve been wondering about cleaning this because it gets really greasy and nasty quick, I really don’t like all the steps and parts but at least it’s possible yo clean. I can’t believe they say it doesn’t need cleaning?? I feel all that grease is a risk.
I’m curious if air fryers by themselves get as dirty or if they are easier to clean, do you know?
There DEFINITELY HAS TO BE FIRE RISK… I have 2 only because I bought one travel nursing and thought it was lost but I rotate and they’re both WAY worse on fry lids!
👍
Hmm, these screws for which you said to use the T15 size torx screwdriver doesn’t seem to work. It looks closer to an Allen key, do you know what size that would translate to?
The tool I used marked T15, I used the Husky Torx set.
The T15 allen key equivalent is 1/8.
Excellent disassembly and reassembly instructions. But can you give more details on cleaning the individual components? How much baking soda? What temperature to heat the water/vinegar solution? About how long does it take?
I can take the parts off -- At least the protective cover, and heating element clip easily enough. But once that's done how do I clean those parts? It's unclear in your video.
They should have designed a better cleaning access
.... or just spray with a degreeser, lightly spray with water, use to dry repeat if needed
Lightly spray with water? Are you sure that will work well and not break it? I’ve really tried cleaning mine without removing it and it’s tough because stuff gets really caked on. The reason taking it apart is so good and needed is to scrub it which you can’t do unless you disassemble it.
my model doesn't have the screws on the outer ring.......
Which model do you have, the newest black variant?
This one known as, Instant Pot Pro Crisp & Air Fryer:

I followed the directions you gave and all went well but I am stuck trying to get the nut back on. The nut is threaded 360 degrees but the bolt the nut attaches to is not, and no matter how I try I can't get the nut threaded. Any thoughts?
Am in the same situation,did you manage to get the bolt on.
@@carolparks6899 No, couldn't get it on, but they did send me a replacement lid.
how do you normally clean the air frying basket? Would like to know your preferred method,
We haven't used that basket in ages. When we did clean it, we soaked it in hot water with detergent, and use a sponge, never with anything that is abrasive.
@@NewParentsInTrainingThank you so much for the prompt response! :) oh!? How come? What do y'all use instead?
@JoaquimGonsalves that basket just poorly made and paint would come off. We haven't found a basket that we like. So normally we don't use any basket. If you want to or need to use a basket, make sure to use a baking paper.
@@NewParentsInTraining that's really helpful and good to know. I only recently bought one. Will use baking paper for now. Thank you so much!:)
Dude... i rinsed it in water..... do you think its safe to plug in after a week of it being put to dry?
I think a relative ran one of my air fryer lids partially through dw and after a couple of weeks leaving in the laundry room it ran ok … I think the rice trick or compressed air?
Empessive...
Very helpful video. Thank you. But Jesus Christ, who designed it to be this complicated to clean?
