Every board contains one heat relay (K3), and may contain two basket lift relays (K1 and K2). As shipped from the factory, fryers with bell-crank basket lifts will have relays K1, K2, and K3. All other factory-original fryers will have boards with only relay K3.

NOTE: The basket lift option is not available on MJCF Series fryers. The above diagnostic tables are not applicable to user-supplied or KFC-1 computers.

THERMOSTATS AND TEMPERATURE PROBES

MJCF Series fryers equipped with thermostat controls have an adjustable controlling (operating) thermostat. The temperature at which the thermostat opens and closes is adjusted by changing the setting of the thermostat with an attached knob. When new, the Fenwal controlling thermostat is sensitive to one-degree changes in temperature.

CAUTION

Fenwal thermostats are used in a number of Frymaster products. The thermostat for the MJCF Series is 4 inches long. Do not use 3-inch Fenwal thermostats in MJCF Series fryers.
