Smontaggio Tefal Actifry

Thanks, saved time figuring out exactly how to do it - though you need a couple of more pictures in the guide. I had to deform the case a bit in order to clear over the fan otherwise it cannot slip over the fan - people be careful not to stress the fan assembly: you should slide the case without touching the fan.

In my case, the security screws *just* got unscrewed by a not-security screwdriver bit so I just replaced them with normal philips ones on reassembly.

Muchas gracias. Pude arreglar mi Actifry gracias a su guía... Resulto perfecta,.

Resulta un poco difícil abrirla por los seguros plásticos, pero al final se pudo (uno se me rompió).

Best regard..

The stirring motor in my Actifry stopped turning. When I removed the motor there was a lot of black sludge around the motor's output shaft and brown nicotine colored sludge covering the top of the motor and leaking right out the bottom of the motor.

Seeing as the motor was of no use as it was, I carefully bent back the tabs and lifted the top containing the gear train off the motor. The whole inside was also coated in the thick gooey sludge.

The motor shaft itself was free to turn when powered up. So I cleaned up the gears and shafts with lacquer thinner which quickly evaporates and lubricated them. After reassembling the motor and bending the tabs back down, I was back in business.

I noticed that the smaller Actifry model has much less of a build-up than the larger unit. The smaller model has a rubber seal at the bottom of the paddle, while the larger unit does not, allowing the sludge to accumulate quicker in the larger model which has a timer power off function, which I love.

During the disassembly I accidentally let go of the wires attached to the motor. They're the same length and bend the same way. Does it make any difference which one goes where. I've senn one goes to J6 and one to J7 on the main board. Thx

Great advice, many thanks. I found my Actifry had the security torx screws, thought about it for a bit then used a fine centre punch and hammer to remove the little pins in the centre of the screws. It took a little care but meant that the torx screws came out easily. I also found that my motor was fine, it was just the drive shaft whose centre was driven clean, that did not engage to the motor. A very cheap fix but you do have to take the thing to pieces first.

I need help to replace the main motor of the Tefal actifry. Anyone who can help? with a step by step guide please.

Thanks

Great guide. The hardest part was finding a TORX PLUS Tamper-Resistant bit, but once I’d dug one of those out of my assorted driver bits it was a doddle to change the drive motor.

My actifry has no vents at the back for fan motor

Cooling

Later models

All have such grill at the back.

Do i need any precautions

Hi I have replaced the heating element in my actifry yet it still does not heat up. Any ideas?

Hi I've just got an actifry off ebay its saying Er 6 … do you know if this can fixed and if so how please? Thank you kind regards christine x

I did see two fuses on the “mother board behind the fan. One tested without a problem the other one ( on the left) has most probably blown.

The motor for the chip rotor makes a “false” sound, so that might be shot.

Where in New Zealand would I be able to: either get it repaired or at least get a new motor?

Thanks so far.

Brilliant instructions fortunately I tried to unscrew the 3 screws before I bought the motor and realised I also needed to buy the special security screwdriver to remove them as well. very easy to follow instructions base fiddley to remove but no more than expected and gave a good opportunity to give all the parts a good clean. Simple as can be to remove and replace the motor and reassemble the u it. looks like new and working perfectly. Thank you

thanks! But as already mentioned on the comments, the fan cover is really easy to break while trying to disassembly it. I will glue it again, and well, it does not change the device funcionallity, but need to be mentioned

I have repaired a family members device and the motor inside their actifry did not have the spades on the connection. I cut the terminal wires, put new spades on via crimping and connected to the new spaded motor and worked just fine.

I followed the guide but had trouble removing the front and back covers, managed in the end but they were brittle and will need replacing at next repair. Overall a quick and easy job and the replacement cost under £14 and arrived within 48hrs of ordering it

How do I replace the timer batteries

I followed the instructions and managed to get the bottom casing off, I could see the motors but couldn’t tell which one is making the loud grinding noise. I suspect it would be the one with the fan, Without touching anything i switched it on for about 20 seconds to see if I could hear or see anything, It sounded perfect with no loud noise. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

tefal actifry family serie 011-1 Showing error ( Er ) and beeps after about 2 minute Turn off and on. Set 1 min time and same error happens again every time within the 1 minute. Any suggestions

Might sound a bit hick but it worked. Underneath the paddle the two moving tabs that grip the spindle seemed a bit loose to me, so as a test I simply tightly folded a small piece of cardboard and jammed it in between the gap, between the 2 tabs and the spindle. Proved the point, it snapped on the chip pan as usual and actually turned. Now replace cardboard with foil, seems the tabs were to loose to grip the spindle, solved. You may need to redo now and again but saved a lot of hassle. Obviously clean paddle carefully, don't submerge in water or the foil may fall out.

Do you have a diagram/photo of the position of the small cogs in the paddle motor of a Tefal Actify Model serie 041?
