3. Remove the two screws from the upper corners of the computer and allow the computer to swing down. 4. Unplug the wiring harnesses and disconnect the grounding wires from the terminals on the back of the computer. Remove the computer assembly by lifting it from the hinge slots in the control panel frame.
1.4 Replacing a High-Limit Thermostat 1. Remove the filter pan and lid from the unit. Drain the frypots into an McDonald’s Shortening Disposal Unit (MSDU) or other appropriate METAL container using the computer “drain to pan option” or using the MIB board in manual mode. DANGER DO NOT drain more than one full frypot or two split frypots into the MSDU at one time.

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.
Replacing a Heating Element 1. Perform steps 1-5 of section 1.5, Replacing a Temperature Probe. 2. Disconnect the wire harness containing the probe wiring, where the temperature probe is attached to the element being replaced. Using a pin pusher, disconnect the probe wires from the 12-pin connector.

Index Marker marks Position 1 Full vat element wire routing Pull the element wires through the bushings on either side of the frypot and down the back. Element wires should be routed to the right of the ATO temperature probe on the back wall of the frypot.
8. Reconnect the element connector ensuring that the latches lock. 9. Insert the temperature probe leads into the 12-pin wiring harness connector (see illustration below). For full-vat units or the right half of a dual-vat unit, the red lead goes into position 3 and the white into position 4.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to remove the entire contactor box to repair.

3. Slide the metal bezel up to release the bottom tabs, then slide the bezel down to disengage the upper tabs. 4. Remove the two screws from the upper corners of the computers and allow them to swing down (see illustration and photo on page 1-1). 5.
23. Position the element tube assembly in the frypot and reinstall the machine screws and nuts removed in step 19. 24. Reconnect the oil return flexlines to the frypot, and replace aluminum tape, if necessary, to secure heater strips to the flexlines. 25.
Solidified shortening in the pan or filter Sediment Particle lines, or Attempting to filter unheated oil or shortening (cold oil is more viscous, Oil Flow overloading the pump motor and causing it to overheat). If the motor runs but the pump does not return oil, there is a blockage in the pump.

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 LOV™ fryer. 1-12...
1.10 ATO (Automatic Top-off) Service Procedures The automatic top-off system is activated when the oil level falls below a sensor in the rear of the frypot. The signal is sent to the ATO board to engage the return actuator to the frypot and turn on the ATO pump. The pump draws oil from the JIB (Jug In Box) through the rear return manifold into the rear of the frypot.
