Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Center (FASC) for part number 826-0900. Prior to movement, testing, maintenance and any repair on your Frymaster fryer, disconnect all electrical power from the fryer. ELECTRICAL POWER SPECIFICATIONS...
CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.1 General Before performing any maintenance on your Frymaster fryer, disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply. When electrical wires are disconnected, it is recommended that they be marked in such a way as to facilitate re-assembly.

NOTE: If more room to work is required, the control panel frame assembly may be removed by removing the hex head screws that secure it to the fryer cabinet (see illustration below). If this option is chosen, all control panel assemblies must be removed per steps 1 and 2 above. The cover plate on the lower front of the component box may also be removed if desired.
7. Insert the leads into the 12-pin connector C-6 (see illustration below). For full-vat units or the left half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer) the leads go into positions 1 and 2 of the connector. For the right half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer), the leads go into positions 7 and 8.

9. Insert the temperature probe leads into the 12-pin connector C-6 (see illustration below). For full-vat units or the right half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer) the red lead goes into position 3 and the white lead into position 4 of the connector. For the left half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer), the red lead goes into position 9 and the white lead into position 10.
12-pin connector C-6. 3. In the rear of the fryer directly behind the frypot disconnect the 6-pin connector for the left element (as viewed from the front of the fryer) or the 9-pin connector for the right element.
4. For the left half of a dual-vat unit, the red lead goes into position 9 and the white into position 10. NOTE: Right and left refer to the fryer as viewed from the rear. 10. Reconnect the 12-pin connector C-6 of the wiring harness disconnected in Step 2.
3. Remove the two screws securing the cover of the contactor box. The contactor boxes above the filter pan are accessed by sliding under the fryer. They are located to the left and right above the guide rails (see photo below). The contactor boxes of non-filter units or frypots not over the filter pan are accessed by opening the fryer door directly under the affected frypot.

5. Unplug the wiring harnesses and ground wires from the backs of the controllers. Remove the controllers by lifting them from the hinge slots in the control panel frame. 6. Remove the tilt housing and back panels from the fryer. The tilt housing must be removed first in order to remove the upper back panel.
28. Reinstall controllers in the control panel frame and reconnect the wiring harnesses and ground wires. 29. Reposition the fryer under the exhaust hood and reconnect it to the electrical power supply. 1.9 Built-in Filtration System Service Procedures 1.9.1 Filtration System Problem Resolution One of the most common causes of filtration problems is placing the filter paper on the bottom of the filter pan rather than over the filter screen.
If the pump starts after resetting the thermal overload switch, then something is causing the motor to overheat. A major cause of overheating is when several frypots are filtered sequentially, overheating the pump and motor. Allow the pump motor to cool at least 30 minutes before resuming operation. Pump overheating can be caused by: •...

2. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply and reposition it to gain access to both the front and rear. 3. Disconnect the two flexlines running to the oil-return manifold at the rear of the fryer as well as the pump suction flexline at the end of the filter pan connection (see photo below).
11. When proper operation has been verified, reinstall the back panels and the filter pan and lid. 12. Reposition the fryer under the exhaust hood and reconnect it to the electrical power supply to return the fryer to service.

Timing circuitry in the controller initiates and stops basket lift operation depending upon the variables programmed by the operator. When the product button is pressed, the timing circuitry activates a coil in the basket lift relay to supply power to the lower microswitch. The microswitches stop the motor at the lift’s upper and lower travel limits and reverse the direction of current flow thus reversing the motor direction.

MOTOR AND GEAR PROBLEMS With the modular basket lift, the most likely problem to be encountered in this category is erratic motion of the lift due to a worn drive gear. Failure to keep the lift rod and bushings properly lubricated will cause unnecessary wear of the gear.
