Element Safety Switch - Henny Penny EVOLUTION ELITE EEE-182 Technical Manual

6-10. ELEMENT SAFETY
SWITCH
July 2016
This switch cuts power to the element when the element is raised.
If a constant "E-31" "HEATING ELEMENTS ARE UP", is
shown on the display, when the elements are lowered into the
vat, check the element safety switch.
To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
Checkout:
1. Remove control panel and hinge it down.
2. Referring to the decal on the rear of the control panel, locate
P9 connector (left vat-split vat) or P10 connector (full or right
vat).
3. Pull the connector from the panel and using a multimeter,
check for continuity between the 2 appropriate pins
(labeled HEAT SWITCH). With the plunger on the safety
switch pushed in (element lowered), the circuit should be
closed. With the element raised, the circuit is should be
open. If the switch proves to be faulty, continue with
replacement instructions.
Replacement:
1. Remove the rear panel (9 screws).
2. Pull the wires from the switch.
3. Use Phillip's-head screwdriver and remove the 2 screws
securing the switch.
4. Reassemble with new switch, making sure the plate
pushes in the switch plunger, activating the switch, and
then reconnect power to the fryer.
