H20.5 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS

CHAPTER 5: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1 Introduction

This section provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur during the operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with this 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.

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 in a cord or fail to close a valve completely. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of any 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, too. 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.

Before calling a service agent or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):

•Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.

•Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed.

WARNING

Hot shortening can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid oil spills and the falls and severe burns that could occur. This fryer may tip and cause personal injury if not secured in a stationary position. See instruction manual.

DANGER

Use extreme care when testing electrical circuits. Live circuits will be exposed.

WARNING

Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service personnel. The equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical tests are required.
