electrical power to the machine and
follow lockout / tagout procedures.
1.
Remove ELEMENT HEAD COVER .
Heating elements must remain
submerged in shortening while performing this test or
damage may occur.
2.
Access heating element lead wire connections at
wire nuts.
3.
Re-connect power, turn power switch on and set
cooking control to call for heat.
4.
Measure voltage at heating element connections
and verify against data plate voltage.
A.
If voltage is incorrect, see
TROUBLESHOOTING (Table 11).
NOTE: This method is preferred over a resistance
check when a clamp on type amp meter is available.
B.
If voltage is correct, check current draw
(amps) through the heating element lead
wires. See table for proper values.
If current draw is correct, heating
element is functioning properly.
