In some models, the fan light blinks constantly when the selected temperature is reached. The unit blocks the fan light symbol on the display from time to time to just indicate the appliance is heating.

Typically, the fan light blinks in blue color. This light is also beautiful and realized like we are using advanced technology having a unit.
However, this light goes off automatically, no manual step needs to be taken. If you’re new to using the Nuwave air fryer, reading and understanding the user manual given with the new unit would be beneficial for you.
You can also see some other symbols on the panel that blinks when users press the buttons. Fan light is helpful to analyze the working of heating elements. Because when the heating element is working, the fan light blinks.

Why does the Light on the Air Fryer Go on and Off?
As we discussed before, not every air fryer model contains the same feature and working procedure. Thus in some air fryer models, there could be another light in place of the fan light that indicates the unit is heating or reheating.
Typically, the light on the air fryer only goes on and off when the set temperature is reached. For example, when the unit is heating the light remains on, and when it gets heated, the light goes off.
However, this light can turn on again when the appliance automatically starts reheating when required.
There is no voltage drop or fault in the unit which is the reason behind the light blinking, it is just a feature in your appliance that is helpful and you must know it.
Some air fryers don’t have light to indicate the temperature range, but they have different ways to display the user of temperature level.
The one thing you must consider is that the appliance should turn off the light when it has reached the desired temperature and start the cooking program.
If the light doesn’t go off and remains on the unit the appliance gets unplugged, there is a fault in the main unit.
Probably the control board is faulty when the light on an air fryer is not working as it should be.
