YSCFC SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.1 Functional Description YSCFC Series Flatbottom gas fryers contain a welded steel frypot (mild steel) with heat-transfer ducting on the frypot bottom for efficient heating of oil without scorching. A draft inducer draws air over the burners for combustion.

YSCFC Series Flatbottom gas fryers are equipped with Thermatron temperature controller. The fryer is turned on and off by means of a rocker switch and the temperature is set by adjusting a potentiometer. The Thermatron board is located in the wireway box behind the control panel, or in a component box inside the cabinet (depending on fryer configuration).
Frying systems with built-in filtration are equipped with drain microswitches that disable the fryer if the drain valves are not completely closed. Opening a drain valve (i.e. filtering or draining the fryer) automatically opens the reset switch circuit. The drain valve must be fully closed prior to resetting the safety switch.
4. Place the gas valve in the "ON" position then place the fryer power switch in the "ON" position. When the burner lights and continues to burn, note gas pressure reading for correct pressure in accordance with the table on page 1-1.
2. Place the fryer ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position. Set the Thermatron dial to 325°F (162°C). 3. Allow the oil/shortening to stabilize at setpoint temperature. This is evident when the burners have cycled on and off several times.
2. Allow the frypot to cool for 10 minutes before draining. Drain cooking oil/shortening from the frypot. Allow the frypot to cool completely before proceeding. 3. Remove the fryer door(s) for access to control panel screws. Lift door up, disengage rod from lower door bracket, and then remove door. (Current production models have spring-loaded door pins.

1.6.3 Replacing the Gas Valve Drain the frypot or remove drain valve handle to prevent accidental opening before Disconnect fryer from electrical and gas supplies. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve terminal block, marking each wire to facilitate reconnections.
Multi-batteried systems after have upper and lower back panels, which must be removed to access the blower assembly. (fryer at left shown with upper back panel removed). After removing screws (arrows), remove blower assembly from firebox by pulling outward.

(arrow). Reverse the above steps to reassemble the fryer. Use high-temp silicone to re-install the top assembly (single fryers) or joiner strips, flue caps, etc. (systems). 1.7 Troubleshooting and Problem Isolation This section is intended to provide technicians with a general knowledge of the broad problem categories associated with this equipment, and the probable causes of each.
Problems Related to the Electronic Circuits If gas and electrical power are supplied to the fryer, the next most likely cause of ignition failure is a problem in the 24 VAC circuit of electronic ignition systems. If the fryer is equipped with a filtration system, first verify that the drain valve is fully closed.
If the fryer’s gas and air supplies are okay, the problem most likely is with one of the electrical components. Examine the ignition module for signs of melting/distortion and/or discoloration due to excessive heat build-up in the fryer.

Check for proper operation by disconnecting the wire from the ignitor, inserting the tip of a screwdriver into the terminal, and holding it near the frame of the fryer as the power switch is placed in the "ON" position. A strong, blue spark should be generated for at least 11 seconds.
Temperature control, including the melt cycle, is a function of several interrelated components, each of which must operate correctly. The principal component is the temperature probe. Depending upon the specific configuration of the fryer, other components may include the Thermatron board, the controller itself, and the ignition module.

YSCFC SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES A pump seized by debris or hard shortening must be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled as follows: 1. Disconnect power to the filter system. 2. Remove the front cover of the pump to access the gears inside, if the pump is accessible while still inside the cabinet.
YSCFC SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.7.5 Leakage Frypot leaks are usually due to improperly sealed high-limit, temperature probe or oil-return and drain fittings. When installed or replaced, each of these components must be sealed with Loctite PST567 sealant or equivalent to prevent leakage.
(20 minutes). If problems with blower overheating persist, call for service. 3. If fryer is equipped with a Thermatron controller, the temperature probe or the controller board may be defective. 1. Check gas pressure at the pressure tap of the burner manifold.
The fryer’s indicator lights serve a diagnostic purpose. All lights are lit when the fryer is working properly. The green light on the control panel will cycle on and off as the fryer calls for heat. Use the following procedures to isolate problems indicated by light combinations.
