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

Most importantly, always 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. Always 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 components and substituting components that are known to be good. Whenever this in indicated, refer to Sections 6.7 for specific instructions
