This high temperature control is a manual reset control which senses the temperature of the shortening. If the shortening temperature exceeds 420°F (215OC), this control switch will open and shut off the heat to the cookpot. When the temperature of the shortening drops to a safe operation limit, the control must be manually reset. The reset button is located above the filter knob in the front of the cooker. This will allow heat to be supplied to the cookpot. Before replacing a high tempe

a primary The electric fryer requires two switching contactors: contactor and a heat contactor. The primary contactor energizes (contacts close) any time the Power/Pump Switch is in the “Power” position and the temperature of the pot is below 420°F (215OC). The hi limit will cut the power at the primary contactor if temperatures in the cookpot exceed 420° F (215O 6). The primary contactor supplies power to one side of the heat contactors. The heat contactor is controlled by the computer

Each electric fryer uses two heating elements. Heating elements are available for 208 or 220/240,380 and 415 voltage. Check the data plate on the right side panel of unit to determine the correct voltage. If the shortening’s temperature recovery is very slow, or at a slower rate than required, this may indicate defective heating element(s). A multimeter will quickly indicate if the elements are shorted or open. 1. Remove electrical power supplied to the fryer. Remove electrical power su

All fryers are equipped with a drain valve micro-switch that prevents heat from coming on when the drain valve is open. With the drain valve open, the switch prevents power from being applied to the coil of the primary and heat contactors, and the solenoid coil. Remove electrical power supplied to the fryer by unplugging the unit, or turning off the wall circuit breaker or electrical shock could result. 1. The following check should be made to determine if the Drain Switch is defective.
