Corrective Action D. If the circuitry in the fryer

control system cannot determine the frypot temperature, the system will not allow the element to be energized or will de-energize the element if it is already energized. If the contactor, element, or associated wiring fails, the element will not energize. Determining which specific component is malfunctioning is beyond the scope of operator troubleshooting. Call FASC.

This fryer is equipped with a drain safety switch that prevents the heating element from being energized if the drain valve is not fully closed. Verify that the drain valve is fully closed.

The fact that the heat indicator is ON indicates that the computer is functioning properly and is calling for heat. The high-limit thermostat functions as a normally closed switch. If the thermostat fails, the "switch" opens and power to the elements is shut off. If the contactor fails to close, no power is supplied to the elements. Determining which component has failed is beyond the scope of operator troubleshooting.

Call FASC.
