Troubleshooting

6.2.1 Controller and Heating Problems
Problem
Controller won't
activate.
Fryer does not heat.
Probable Causes
A. Power cord is not plugged in or
circuit breaker is tripped.
B. Controller or power supply
component or interface board has
failed.
A. Drain valve is open.
B. One or more other components
have failed.
Corrective Action
A. Plug power cord in and verify
that circuit breaker is not
tripped.
B. If any of the components in the
power supply system (including
the transformer and interface
board) fail, power will not be
supplied to the controller and it
will not function. Determining
which component has failed is
beyond the scope of operator
troubleshooting. Call FAS.
A. A drain safety switch prevents
the heating element from being
energized if the drain valve is
not fully closed. Verify that the
drain valve is fully closed.
B. If the circuitry in the fryer
control system cannot determine
the frypot temperature, the
system will not allow the
element to be energized or will
de-energize the element if it is
already energized. If the
contactor, element, or associated
wiring fails, the element will not
energize. Determining which
specific component is
malfunctioning is beyond the
scope of operator
troubleshooting. Call FAS.
