Product Information

Full details

The Tefal Actifry Express XL Handle Backing Plate is a critical replacement component for home cooks who rely on their Actifry air fryer to maintain a secure and safe cooking setup. Designed specifically for the 1.7kg capacity models, this genuine OEM part ensures the handle remains firmly attached to the frying basket, preventing potential accidents during use. While it is an essential safety component, users should note that installation requires a basic screwdriver and careful handling to ensure all alignment pins are correctly seated for long-term durability.

FAQs

Is this part compatible with my 1kg Actifry?

No, this part is specifically designed for the 1.7kg Express XL models.

Does this package include replacement screws?

Typically, the backing plate uses the existing screws from your machine, so keep your original hardware safe during replacement.

How do I know if my backing plate needs replacing?

If your handle feels loose, wobbles when lifting the basket, or if you see visible cracks in the plastic plate behind the handle, it should be replaced immediately.

Is the installation difficult?

It is a straightforward task that only requires a Phillips-head screwdriver, but it does require careful alignment of the handle components.

Is this a genuine Tefal part?

Yes, this is an OEM component manufactured by Tefal for the Actifry Express XL series.

Troubleshooting

Handle still feels loose after installation

Check that the screws are fully tightened and the backing plate is flush against the basket wall.

Difficulty aligning the plate with the basket holes

Ensure the handle is perfectly centered before inserting the first screw; do not tighten fully until all screws are started.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a secure and safe handle-to-basket connection
  • Genuine OEM part guarantees compatibility
  • Restores the original ease of use of your air fryer
  • Durable, heat-resistant construction

Cons

  • Requires manual installation which can be fiddly
  • Not compatible with smaller 1kg Actifry models
  • Hardware (screws) may need to be reused from the original part

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this part, ensure the air fryer is completely cool before starting. Remove the existing damaged plate by unscrewing the housing. Align the new SS-994873 backing plate against the handle bracket, ensuring all screw holes line up perfectly. Tighten the screws carefully; do not overtighten as this can strip the plastic or cause cracking in the future.

Compatibility: This part is compatible with models including AH9500, AH9508, AH9518, AH951B, AH9600, AH9608, and AH9808.

Care: Clean only with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or high-pressure dishwashers, as these can weaken the structural composition of the plate over time.
