Remove the filter pan from the unit and drain the frypot being replaced into a Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) or other appropriate metal container using the drain to pan function following the instructions in section 2.1.10 of the FQ4000 Controller Operation Manual. DANGER DO NOT attempt to drain more than one full frypot or two split frypots into the SDU at one time.
33. Remove bolts from brackets securing burner manifold to frypot. Leave the manifold in place. 34. Ensure wires and tubes will not be caught on the frypot when it is removed 35. Remove frypot from fryer by lifting up and out of the cabinet. 36.
1.16.1 Heating (Ignition) Failure Heating (ignition) failure occurs when the ignition module fails to sense a pilot flame within the 90-second time delay period and locks out. When this happens, the module sends 24 VAC through the SIB (smart interface board) alarm circuit to the controller.
1.16.2 Improper Burner Function With problems in this category, the burner ignites but exhibits abnormal characteristics such as “popping,” fluctuating flame intensity, and flames shooting out of the flue. “Popping” indicates delayed ignition. In this condition, the main gas valve is opening but the burner is not immediately lighting.
Burners lighting on the left side only may be caused by a trailing pilot problem (four- and five-tube frypots) or improper burner manifold pressure. Fluctuating flame intensity is normally caused by either improper or fluctuating incoming gas pressure but may also be the result of variations in the kitchen atmosphere.
filter pan suction tube are present and in good condition. Missing or worn O-rings will allow the pump to suck air and decrease its efficiency. Also check the pre-filter. A plugged pre-filter (see Figure 34) can slow the flow of oil. Use the attached wrench to open (see Figure 35) and clean the pre-filter (see Figure 36).
The clamps on the rubber boots that hold the drain tube sections together may loosen over time as the tubes expand and contract with heating and cooling during use. Also, the boot itself may be damaged. If the section of drain tube connected to the drain valve is removed for any reason, ensure that its rubber and clamps are in good condition and properly fitted around the drain tube when it is reinstalled.
1.17.2 Troubleshooting the Gas Valve Prior to checking for problems associated with the gas valve, ensure that the unit is calling for heat. Also, for non-CE units, verify that the gas valve is in the ON position. The following processes will assist you in troubleshooting the gas valve and ruling it out as a probable cause: If 24 VAC is not present across gas valve main coil, the probable cause is the 24 VAC circuit.

Problem Probable Causes Corrective Action Enter the INFO mode, and select SOFTWARE, review the FIB software status. If FIB: 00.00.000 is shown, the communication is lost between the FIB. Cycle power off for 60 seconds or longer using the master power reset switch. Repeat step A to check if a software version is shown other than zeros.

Problem Probable Causes Corrective Action Ensure oil reservoir has oil. Ensure the lines/ATO pump is not obstructed. If an oil saddle is connected, ensure the quick disconnect is connected properly. Empty the reservoir and clean out pick up tube/saddle hose. Check to see that fryer is heating.
Problem Probable Causes Corrective Action Clear filter error properly. When “CHANGE FILTER PAD YES/NO” is displayed, do NOT press any button until the pan has been removed for at least thirty seconds. Filter error exists. One vat doesn’t top off. Actuator, pump, loose connection, After thirty seconds the controller returns to OFF or RTD or FIB issue.
Problem Probable Causes Corrective Action A. Verify that the power cord is fully plugged in and the circuit A. Power cord is not plugged in breaker is not tripped. or circuit breaker is tripped. Filter pump won’t start or B. If the motor is too hot to touch for more than a few seconds, B.

1.22.5.1 Float Switch Troubleshooting Typical Sensor Related Failures -E65 in the error log. If the controller continues to display E65 and does not heat, and gas supply, gas valve, etc. have been checked and no heat lamp illuminates because no call for heat is initiated, then follow these steps: - Check (see diagram below) - Ensure the float switch can move freely up and down the rod.

Probable Causes Corrective Action Problem Press home button. Press Service button. Press Service FQ4000 display is in wrong button again. Enter 3000. Press Tech Modes. Press Toggle to temperature scale Incorrect display option programmed. Select. Press F° to C° to toggle temperature scale. Press YES to (Fahrenheit or Celsius).
Probable Causes Corrective Action Problem The float switch does not detect oil. 1. Ensure the frypot is full of oil. 2. Float switch may be stuck up or down. 3. Clean the float switch. FQ4000 displays Low oil Ensure the float switch moves freely up and down. Ensure Dirty or stuck float switch.
1.24 Loading and Updating Software Procedures Updating the software takes approximately 30 minutes. The software only needs to be loaded in the USB port in the far-left fryer cabinet and it will update ALL the controllers and boards in the system. To update the software, follow these steps carefully: The software update may lose the location of product icons on the front screen after the update.
25. Cycle the fryer control power using the reset switch. This is located under the USB slot on the far-left side of the fryer (see ENSURE THE SWITCH IS PRESSED AND HELD FOR 30 SECONDS. Failure to press and Figure 58). hold the reset switch long enough, may cause an incomplete software update.
1.25.1 Software/Menu Update Troubleshooting CAN COMMUNICATION FAILED or CAN communication error during an update Power cycle fryer ensuring that the reset switch is pressed and held for 30 seconds or greater or power is removed for 30 seconds or greater. Update the software or menus again.
