Replacing A High-Limit Thermostat - Frymaster FOOTPRINT RE80 Series Service & Parts Manual

NOTE: If more room to work is required, the control panel frame assembly may be removed by
removing the hex head screws that secure it to the fryer cabinet (see illustration below). If this
option is chosen, all control panel assemblies must be removed per steps 1 and 2 above. The
cover plate on the lower front of the component box may also be removed if desired. Removing
the component box itself from the fryer is not recommended due to the difficulty involved in
disconnecting and reconnecting the oil-return valve rods, which pass through openings in the
component box.
7. Reconnect the wiring disconnected in Step 3, referring to your notes and the wiring diagrams on
the fryer door to ensure that the connections are properly made. Also, verify that no other wiring
was disconnected accidentally during the replacement process.
8. Reverse steps 1 through 4 to complete the replacement and return the fryer to service.
