CHAPTER 6: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1

Introduction

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 FQ4000 malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all other connections
while you're at it. 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 Servicer 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.



