1.15.4 Replacing the Temperature Probe

1. Drain the cooking oil from the frypot. Allow the frypot
to cool completely before proceeding.
2. Perform steps 1 through 8 from section 1.15.1.
3. Remove the bezel removing the two (2) screws on the
bottom of the bezel (see Figure 5).
4. Disconnect the temperature probe (J11) from the SIB
board (see Figure 6).
5. Locate the temperature probe to be replaced inside
the frypot (see Figure 4).
6. Using pliers or a screwdriver, carefully bend the two
tabs (one forward and toward the back) so the probe
will clear the tabs (see Figure 7).
7. Removal of other components and/or repositioning the fryer may be
necessary to gain access to the bottom of the probe. Remove the side access
panel if applicable.
8. Carefully loosen the compression fitting around the temperature probe (see Figure 8).
9. Carefully remove the probe by pulling it through the bottom of the frypot. As the probe is removed, tilt the probe
at an angle to facilitate removal. Retain the mounting hardware for reassembly.
10. Carefully pull the probe and insulation out of the control box, noting the path.
11. Remove the insulation from the old temperature probe wires to reuse on the new temperature probe.
12. Feed the new temperature probe from the top side of the frypot.
13. Apply Loctite™ PST 567 or equivalent sealant to the threads of the replacement and loosely attach the
compression fittings.
14. Mount the temperature probe into the mounting bracket by carefully bending the two tabs back into alignment to
retain the probe.
15. Using the hardware removed from step 9, securely tighten the compression fitting.
16. Using the wire insulation from step 11, slip the insulation over the new probe wires.
17. Route the wires to and through the control box.
18. Reverse steps 2-4.
19. Once the fryer is filled with oil check for leaks and proper operation.
