This high temperature control is a manual reset control which senses the temperature of the shortening. If the shortening temperature exceeds the safe operating limit, this control switch will open and shut off the heat to the frypot. When the temperature of the shortening drops to the safe operating limit, the control must manually be reset. Each frypot has a high temperature limit control.
Before replacing a high temperature limit control, check to see that its circuit is closed.
The shortening temperature must be below 380°F to accurately perform this check.
1.Remove electrical power supplied to the cookpot to be worked on.
Place POWER switch to the OFF position, and unplug the power cord or open the wall circuit breaker. Be aware that the other controls will have power, or elec- trical shock could result.
2.Remove the control panel per section 6-3.
3.Remove control from bracket.
4.Remove the two electrical wires from the high temperature limit control.
5.Check for continuity between the two terminals after resetting the control. If the circuit is open, replace the con- trol, then continue with this procedure. (If the circuit is closed, the high limit is not defective. Reconnect the two electrical wires.)
