CHAPTER 5: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1Introduction

This chapter provides an easy reference guide to the more common problems that may occur during the operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides in this chapter are intended to help you correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with the equipment. Although the chapter covers the most common problems reported, you may very well encounter a problem not covered. In such instances, the Frymaster Technical Service Department will make every effort to help you identify and resolve the problem.

When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest solution and working through to the most complex. Never overlook the obvious. Anyone can forget to plug a cord into a receptacle or open the valve on the water supply line. Don’t assume that you are exempt from such occurrences. Most importantly, try to establish a clear idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of your corrective action involves taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all other connections while you’re at it. If a fuse continues to blow, find out why. Keep in mind that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning of a more important component or system.

Some of the troubleshooting actions recommended in this chapter involve removing suspect controllers and substituting controllers that are known to be good. Whenever this is indicated, refer to Section 5.3. Refer to Section 5.4 for instructions on replacing fuses.

If you have doubts as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Center for assistance.
