- Here is a Ninja foodi Smart XL that stop working due a switch malfunction due a bad switch and I'm showing you how to fix it without buying any parts. it took me about 10 min to fix it.
this item is about $300 so is absolutely worth fixing it!
Where can I get a replacement switch?
Sorry Guys I have to remove the link for the part since is been reported that is the wrong switch, not sure if the vendor change the original part
@@RexxthespecialistJust placed an order - will update you with the result. Many thanks!
Unfortunately that is the wrong switch - you need a “normally-closed” switch and this one is normally-open. It is a perfect fit though.
@@larryhatchett1989 good observation I did realize that I know need to be KW3-OZ type
@@Rexxthespecialist hi! I ordered the one from the amazon link you updated and it's normally open. If somebody use this one it will work backwards (when the lid is open it will be detected as closed and viceversa). The right switch needs to be nornally closed. Im currently looking for the right one. Thanks for the video thought. I wish i could have fixed the original one but unfortunately I broke it by accident while unmount it.
Every now and then you find a video that is exactly the same weird problem you have. Even the way the microswitch internals were shifted was identical. Thanks man.
Thanks for the comment and I’m glad that I can help.
Thank you for this! I saw a lot of people spraying WD40 and I didn’t think that was food safe. Found your video. A bit of a messy job but it worked!! Had the exact same issue as you. Saved myself from having to buy a new Ninja. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! 😁👍🏼
Great video, got my mine back up and running. I was able to find a replacement switch on Amazon that had 3 prongs. You just use the COM and NC and leave the NO unused. It was the uxcell 2PCS KW3-OZ 16A 125/250VAC. It comes in a two pack so you have an extra if it happens again. It had same micro chip makers name as the original one did.
Great and thanks for you contribution 👍🏼
Would you be able to tell me which wire color goes where?
The switch was horrible. Replaced it with a rocker on-off switch which now made it a manual open and close switch. Mounted the rocker switch on the back by modifying the plastic. The springs dis-lodged and were a pain to get set back in but eventually got it. It now works perfect!
I did fix my switch by bending some tabs (inside the switch )in the metal legs (The one melted down specially) and close it and tie around with wire, and is been great since then.
But your idea is pretty clever 👍🏼
Thanks for the video… Fixed mines in about 10 minutes and now she’s purring like a kitten. 👍🏽
Glad it helped! 😁
THANK YOU, IT WORKS!! Your video was very helpful and 100% accurate. I had to psuse on the losdong of the spring, thst eas the hardest part. Putting it back exactly like you showed. Took longer than the whole disassemble and reassemble lol. Found a green replacement part on amazon for 3 dollars. The part number matched, but looks different Its green and has 3 prongs, but i only used 2, copied the way it was connected to old switch. Worked fine. Thank goodness i couldn't find my Mallett lol. Thank you
Thanks man. Good video. My micro switch was good, but the white insulation around the wiring had frayed and was hanging up on the switch plunger. Trimmed it up and pushed it back. Some of these other videos are a joke.
That’s great that you were able to fix it! So did my video really help you?
And what’s up with those other videos that you mentioned? if you didn’t mind asking you
Yes , it did. One dude was hitting it with a rubber mallet. I imagine that was freeing up his switch and another was spraying the hinges with cleaning solutions lol
@@kerryward5065 Lol that sounds pretty crazy! I don’t see how that can help but I’m glad that I was able to contribute to your success, thanks for your comment, a least I know my videos are helping someone like you.
Thanks for the video works great!!!
Instead of electrical tape on the switch I use wire, cuz the tape was affected by the heat.
Life saver 😅
Great video papa
Help! Your video works great and I followed it perfectly but now the door does not close all the way. From the video it seems like maybe you had the same problem before turning it over? Any suggestions? I think it has something to do with the way to two silver springs on each side of the hinge need to be set??
You need to assemble back in the open position, otherwise is very conflicting, I hope that helps
@@Rexxthespecialist Thank you so much for your reply. I did reassemble everything in the open position, just like you instructed. And yet the door doesn't close all the way, and doesn't stay open when I open it. If you or anyone else has any suggestions I would be most grateful.
@@DavidVaughn-r5o well is very difficult to help you since I can’t see your device, but those springs as far as I know just fit in one position and unless you’re missing screw I can’t imagine what is the problem.
Probably I need to open a discord so you can post pic or videos about your problem.
@@Rexxthespecialist I agree those springs really do only fit in one position. I've bothered you enough with this but I truly appreciate your advice and help. I'll mess around with it some more and let you know if I have a breakthrough!
@@DavidVaughn-r5o just to let you know I face the same problem myself and after few tries I got it right.
Let me know if is still hard, I’m thinking on making a video about just this exact issue, you are not the only one with this problem.
great job.
Thanks!
Thank you so much your video is really helping ❤
My torx driver fit a few if the screws but not all. Did they use some security screws in there?
You need a T10 Torx “security’ bit - has a hole in the tip.
Would you please show us how to open ninja 11 in 1 sensor? It says close the lid but lid is already closed.
Sorry I did see the message for some reason, did you were able to fix it?
Why would the switch burn out? I could see why it would just stop working.
I believe because the amount of current traveling through the circuit and is a good way for the manufacture to limit the life of the product so you need to buy a new one, since in my opinion is a good product (but they need to make money).
The switch (KW3-OZ) is user friendly (fixable) if you opened since is not sealed.
Or you can buy a new one
(is super cheap)
Now you need to be careful if you open the switch cuz if the internal parts come out of the enclosure is difficult to figure out how to put it back together (it happens to me but since I recorded I was able to get it back together)
I hope this info helps you.
@@Rexxthespecialist my one complaint about the company is no replacement parts. I understand the need to make money but I should get more than a year s and half out of it. I’ll replace the switch. I congratulate you for putting your switch back together. That small spring is difficult.
@@Rexxthespecialist was able to fix the switch the way you did it, but I cannot get it aligned with the big springs so the lid is even
It stays cracked open
In order to reassemble without having hard time with the springs you need to attach everything with the lid wide open while you try to attach the screws, otherwise you will be battling the springs making almost impossible to put it back together.
@@Rexxthespecialist I made an exterior switch box for now with a simple 20amp light switch and box. Works fine. Had to broil a steak in the oven last night and was reminded of what a stinking mess that was. Glad to have the ninja back online. I’ll order a replacement switch at some point.
I did mines but for some reason when I open the lid it thinks that is close and when I close it it thinks that is open.
For some reason is working backwards, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
I think I found the problem I ordered a switch that looks the same in the outside but in the inside is different I just ordered the same switch on the video hopefully it will work when I get it
You were not able to fix the same one?
Is how I did it.
The issue is the plastic give up, and I just reinforce it with a piece of wire.
@@rogerreyes2924where did you get the new switch? I haven’t been able to find one
@rogerreyes2924 hi, is there a part number , if not where did you order the new switch? Thank you
