FQE30 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.1 General Before performing any maintenance on your Frymaster fryer, disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply. WARNING To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the fryer, the electrical plug(s) must be fully engaged and locked in their pin and sleeve socket.
5. Unplug the wiring harnesses from the connectors on the back of the controller marking their position for reassembly and disconnect the grounding wires from the terminals. Remove the controller by lifting it from the hinged slots in the control panel frame. Ground Wire Terminal Ground Wire Terminal 20-Pin Connector...
Remove these three screws at each end. Remove these two screws from the center supports. Removing the Control Panel Frame and Top Cap Assembly 10. Reconnect the wiring disconnected in step 7, referring to your notes and the wiring diagrams on the fryer door to ensure that the connections are properly made.
8. Reconnect the 12-pin connecting plug C-6. Use wire ties to secure any loose wires. 9. Reinstall the back panels, contactor plug guards, reposition the fryer under the exhaust hood, and reconnect it to the electrical power supply to return the fryer to service. 1.5 Replacing a Temperature Probe 1.

nuts and screws removed in Step 5 to the tube assembly. Ensure the gasket is between the tube and element assembly. 7. Route the element leads through the element tube assembly and into the wire sleeving to prevent chafing. Ensure that the wire sleeving is routed back through the Heyco bushing, keeping it clear from the lift springs (see phots below and on the next page).
Element grounding and wire routing To ground the element wires, use the hole in the frypot frame located under the bushing that the element wires pass through. Using a screw through the ground wires ring terminal, connect it to the frypot using the probe ground clip.

Remove two screws to access contactor box components above the filter pan 4. The contactors and relays are held on by threaded pin studs so that only removal of the nut is required to replace the component. 5. After performing necessary service, reverse steps 1-4 to return the fryer to operation. Left and right views of mechanical contactor box components.
1.8 Replacing a Frypot 1. Drain the frypot into the filter pan or, if replacing a frypot over the filter system, into a Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) or other appropriate METAL container. If replacing a frypot over the filter system, remove the filter pan and lid from the unit. DANGER DO NOT drain more than one full frypot or two split frypots into the SDU at one time.
29. Reconnect the oil return flexlines to the frypot, and replace aluminum tape, if necessary, to secure heater strips to the flexlines. 30. Insert the high-limit thermostat leads disconnected in step 21 (see illustration on page 1-3 for pin positions). 31.
If the motor runs but the pump does not return oil, there is a blockage in the pump. Incorrectly sized or installed paper/pads will allow food particles and sediment to pass through the filter pan and into the pump. When sediment enters the pump, the gears bind, causing the motor to overload, again tripping the thermal overload.
Once replaced, reconnect the power. When replacing a filter relay in the left component box, ensure the 24VDC relay (8074482) is used. Similar Frymaster fryers use a 24VAC relay, which can lead to confusion. The 24VDC is used in the FilterQuick™ fryer.

Problems with the basket lift can be grouped into three categories: ● Binding/jamming problems ● Motor and gear problems ● Electronic problems 208-250V C onfiguration 100-120V C onfiguration Binding and Jamming Issues Noisy, jerky or erratic movement of the lifts is usually due to lack of lubrication of the rods and their ®...
Electronic Issues Within this category are problems associated with the relays, microswitches, capacitors, resistors, interface board, wiring, and controls. The most common problem in this category is a lift that continuously travels up and down. This is usually caused by a microswitch that is out of adjustment. Troubleshooting the electronics of a modular basket lift is simply a process of verifying current flow through the individual components up to and including the motor.
