THERMOSTAT REQUIRED TEST EQUIPMENT:

Multimeter (for testing continuity)

CHECKING CONTINUITY WITH THE MULTIMETER

1.Rotate the thermostat shaft until an audible click is heard.

2.Rotate the thermostat shaft left and right ten times causing the switch to click on and off ten times, while using the Multimeter to verify continuity.

3.If the switch does not show continuity during all ten trials, replace the thermostat.

DISASSEMBLING THE THERMOSTAT WILL VOID THE THERMOSTAT WARRANTY.

1.Set compression ring onto capillary end of bulb finger tight, 1/2" from end of capillary.

2.Insert new thermostat bulb through control panel back.

3.Apply oil resistant flexible sealant onto compression fitting thread before installing fitting into fryer vessel.

4.Position bent portion of bulb against far right heat transfer tube and install compression fitting

snugly into fryer vessel.

5.Adjust bulb so at least 2" of bent portion of it is next to heat transfer tube and tighten compression nut onto compression fitting for fryer 10x11, 18 & up. The end of thermostat bulb should touch the burner tube for 14" fryers.

6.Replace burners.

7.Replace control panel back.

8.Slide back fabric shield over capillary and carefully coil capillary. Avoid crimping.

17.Start fryer, preheat and calibrate with thermometer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Millivolt Gas Valves

Part # 023625 (natural) & 023624 (LP)

MILLIVOLT CONTROL VALVE

To check Resistance of the gas valve, connect one wire to the valve as shown.

1.Resistance between the THTP & TH terminals must be 11.5Ω±0.2Ω

2.Resistance between the THTP & TP terminals must be 10.0Ω±0.2Ω

If resistance is outside of specifications listed, the gas valve must be replaced.

Before replacing thermopile check millivolt readings.

THERMOPILE READINGS:

With all wires connected, with the pilot on and burners off, the thermopile reading at the TP&THTP terminals should be ~500mv. With the burners on, the millvolt reading should be ~200mv. A replacement thermopile part # is 022770.
