    Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers      Component Troubleshooting  The following sections provide troubleshooting information for the fryer components. Probe  The resistance of the probe changes as the temperature changes. The resistance decreases as the temperature rises. If the probe is suspect, check its resistance and the oil temperature (as close to the probe as possible) at which it was taken.
