CHAPTER 6: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 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. Also, the troubleshooting guides may not be applicable to certain models.
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 put a piece of filter paper into a filter pan. Don't assume that you
are exempt from such occurrences.
Most importantly, 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. Always 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.
If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical
Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer for assistance.
If the power cord(s) need replaced call your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer for
assistance. The power cord(s) should only be replaced by a Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer.
