1.5 Replacing a Temperature Probe

1. Lift the element out of the oil.
2. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply and reposition it to gain access to the rear of
the fryer.
3. Remove the four screws from both sides of the lower back panel. Then remove the two screws on
both the left and right sides of the back of the tilt housing. Lift the tilt housing straight up to
remove from the fryer.
4. Locate the red (or yellow) and white wires of the temperature probe to be replaced. Note where
the leads are connected prior to removing them from the connector. Unplug the 12-pin connector
C-6 and using a pin-pusher push the pins of the temperature probe out of the connector.
5. Remove the securing probe bracket and metal tie wraps that secure the probe to the element (see
illustration below). Remove the ground clip on the probe shield.
6. Gently pull on the temperature probe and grommet, pulling the wires up the rear of the fryer and
through the element tube assembly.
7. Insert the replacement temperature probe (wires first) into the tube assembly ensuring that the
grommet is in place. Secure the probe to the elements using the bracket which was removed in
Step 5 and the metal tie wraps which were included in the replacement kit.
8. Route the probe wires out of the tube assembly following the element wires down the back of the
fryer through the Heyco bushings to the 12-pin connector C-6. Secure the wires to the sheathing
with wire ties. Attach the ground clip.
9. Insert the temperature probe leads into the 12-pin connector C-6 (see illustration below). For full-
vat units or the right half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer) the red (or
yellow) lead goes into position 3 and the white lead into position 4 of the connector. For the left
half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer), the red (or yellow) lead goes into
