Can you put air fryer drawers in the dishwasher?
Air fryer drawers are dishwasher safe only when the manual says the removable drawer or pan is dishwasher safe. Hand wash nonstick drawers when the manual is unclear.
Updated May 4, 2026
Why
Drawers are larger removable parts with nonstick coating, handle hardware, seams, and sometimes rubber bumpers that may age faster in a dishwasher.
Source note
The manual is the deciding source here because drawer and basket care can differ by model.
Caveats
- Never put the powered air fryer base in the dishwasher.
- Do not force a drawer into the rack where it can hit sprayer arms.
- Hand wash if water can collect around handle seams.
