PROTECTOR® SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 7: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

7.1Introduction

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.

When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest solution and working through to the most complex. 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.

If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Center for assistance.

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

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

•Verify that gas line quick-disconnects are properly connected.

•Verify that any gas line cutoff valves are open.

•Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed.

•Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give to the technician assisting you.
