CHAPTER 5: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1

Introduction

This chapter provides an easy reference guide to the more common problems that may occur during
the operation of your equipment. The troubleshooting guides in this chapter are intended to help you
correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with your equipment. Although the chapter covers
the most common problems reported, you may very well encounter a problem not covered. In such
instances, the Frymaster Technical Service Department will make every effort to help you identify
and resolve the problem.
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest
solution and working through to the most complex. Never overlook the obvious. Anyone can forget
to plug a cord into a receptacle or open the valve on the water supply line. Don't assume that you
are exempt from such occurrences.
Always try to establish a clear idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of your corrective action
involves taking steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of
a poor connection, check all other connections while you're at it. If a fuse continues to blow, find
out why. Keep in mind that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure
or incorrect functioning of a more important component or system.
Each guide begins with a description of a common problem in a six-sided figure. Simply follow the
arrows and answer the questions to determine the corrective action to take. If you have doubts as to
the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical Service Department or your
local Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Center for assistance.
