SECTION 2. MAINTENANCE

This section provides procedures for the check out and
replacement of the various parts used within the fryer. Before
replacing any parts refer to the Troubleshooting Section. It will aid
you in determining the cause of the malfunction.
1. You may need to use a multimeter to check the electric
components.
2. When the manual refers to the circuit being closed, the
multimeter should read zero unless otherwise noted.
3. When the manual refers to the circuit being open, the
multimeter will read infinity.
This high temperature control is a safety, manual reset control,
which senses the temperature of the shortening. If the short-
ening temperature exceeds 425°F (218°C), this switch opens
and shuts off heat to the frypot. When the temperature of the
shortening drops to a safe operation limit, the control must be
manually reset by pressing the red reset button. The red reset
button is located under the control panel, in the front of the fryer.
(Figure 2-1). This allows heat to be supplied to the frypot.
Before replacing a high temperature limit control, check to see
that its circuit is closed.
The shortening temperature must be below 380°F (193°C)
to accurately perform this check.
To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
1. Remove the control panel. Figure 2-2.

  • Page 1: Section 2. Maintenance

    The red reset button is located under the control panel, in the front of the fryer. (Figure 2-1). This allows heat to be supplied to the frypot.
  • Page 2: High Temperature Limit Control

    If the circuit is open, replace the control, then continue with this procedure. (If the circuit is closed, the high limit is not defective. Re- connect the two electrical wires.) Model OFE/OFG/OEA/OGA-341, 342 1003...
  • Page 3 To avoid electrical shock or other injury, run the capillary line under and away from all electrical power wires and terminals. The tube must never be in such a position where it could accidentally touch the electrical power terminals. Model OFE/OFG/OEA/OGA-341, 342...
  • Page 4: Complete Control Panel Replacement
