Start with the exact part
The guide compares parts that users often group together. The safe answer changes when the material, removable mechanism, seal, coating or electrical component changes.
Use official instructions before generic rules
A symbol, product family or general material can help you ask the right question, but the item page and manufacturer instruction remain the source for a final verdict.
Exceptions
- Let coated parts cool before washing and avoid abrasive pads that can damage nonstick surfaces.
- If the related item page has a stricter verdict, follow that item page.
Alternative method
When the source is not specific enough, hand wash with mild soap, rinse thoroughly and air dry unless the manufacturer gives another method.

FAQ
Can an air fryer crisper plate go in the dishwasher?
Often yes for removable baskets and crisper plates when the model manual says so. No for the heating element, main unit or electrical base.
Can I use this guide instead of the product page?
No. Use this page to compare parts, then open the exact item page for the model-level verdict.
Why are some answers conditional?
Because manufacturers often approve one removable part while excluding another part from the same product.
