Frymaster H17SC, H22SC, H14SC manual Replacing a Temperature Probe or High-Limit Thermostat, Danger

7.4Replacing a Temperature Probe or High-Limit Thermostat

1.Remove the filter pan and lid from the unit. Drain the frypots into a Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) or other appropriate container.

DANGER

DO NOT drain more than one full frypot into the SDU at one time.

2.Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply and reposition it to gain access to the rear of the fryer.

3.Remove the tilt housing and back panels from the fryer. The tilt housing must be removed first in order to remove the upper back panel. To remove the tilt housing, raise the elements and allow them to rest on the basket support racks as shown in the photo below.

Next, remove the hex head screws from the rear edge of the housing. The housing can then be lifted straight up and off the fryer. Lift up on the upper back panel to disengage the tabs on its upper corners from the cutouts in the fryer frame.

4.Disconnect the wire harness at connector C6 and, using a pin pusher, disconnect the probe leads or high-limit leads from the connector.

5.If replacing a temperature probe, remove the screw securing the probe bracket to the element and slide the bracket off the element and probe. Pull the probe out of the tilt housing assembly, install the replacement probe, and reattach the element bracket. Secure the upper portion of the probe with a replacement metal wire tie.
