It beeps when it's done.
It beeps when you press the button.
It beeps when you place it on the base.
But today, it beeps no more.
I classify this as a repair.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Maybe so, but give me a way to turn off the beeps then. I'm not disabled, and don't need my airfryer to yell at me for every single minute I adjust its timer.
Fair enough, and I agree mostly, but the issue is if they are able to be turned off that means they can be turned off accidentally. How would they be re-enabled by someone who already has trouble with dexterity, vision, etc.
Give me a switch to turn with a coinslot on the back, I don't care how convoluted it has to be, there are ways to do it.
You can make me have to sing a karaoke cover of "Achy Breaky Hearth" in perfect tune while holding the airfryer upside down, while flipping the power on and off in perfect sync with "Through fire and flames", if that's the distance we have to go, to make sure some poor blind person doesn't accidentally mute it.
