| Each well of an electric fryer requires two switching contactors. |
CONTACTORS | The first in line is the primary contactor and the second in line is |
(ELECTRIC) | the heat contactor. When open, the primary contactor does not |
| allow power to flow to the heat contactor. When closed, the |
| primary supplies voltage to the heat contactor. When the heat |
| contactor is open, no voltage is supplied to the heating elements. |
| When the heat contactor closes, voltage is supplied to the heating |
| elements. |
Checkout (Power Removed) | 1. Remove electrical power supplied to frypot to be worked on. |
To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle, to the frypot to be worked on. Be aware the other control on
Heat Contactorunits will have power. (Mercury)

2.Remove the control panel.
3.Perform a check on the contactor as follows:
Test Points | Results |
From 23 to 29 | open circuit |
From 24 to 28 | open circuit |
From 25 to 27 | open circuit |
From 30 to 34 | open circuit |
From 31 to 35 | open circuit |
From 32 to 36 | open circuit |
From 33 to 37 | ohm reading 1700 |
From 22 to 26 | ohm reading 415 |
Wires should be removed and labeled to obtain an accurate check of contactors.
