Notes

The Foodi Dual Zone is a dual-basket air fryer designed for frequent family use, which means lots of heat cycles and aggressive cleaning. Non-stick coating peeling is a common "replace" reason because it affects food contact surfaces and can't be reliably restored.

If the unit is still heating evenly and the problem is limited to a basket insert, replacing the basket (if available) can be sensible. Replace when coating loss is widespread, the fan motor becomes noisy, temperature control drifts, or the unit trips the thermal fuse-those repairs can stack up quickly.

Heavy use with metal utensils and dishwasher cleaning accelerates coating wear. If the air fryer is older and you're approaching the repair threshold, replacement usually improves reliability and safety.
