PERFORMANCE PRO SERIES GAS FRYERS MODELS 35 & 45
CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES
1.1 General
Performance Pro Series gas fryers (formerly Master Jet 35- and 45-series fryers) contain a welded
stainless steel frypot directly heated by gas fl ames diffused evenly over its lower surface by ceramic
targets. The fl ames originate from orifi ces in a U-shaped burner manifold positioned beneath the frypot.
They are equipped with either a millivolt gas valve or electromechanical gas valve that regulates gas fl ow
to the manifold. For operating information, refer to the Performance Pro Series Gas Fryers Models 35 & 45 Installation and Operation manual (P/N 819-6042). (Furthermore, referred to as the Installation and
Operation manual.)
1.1.1 Pilot Ignition
The pilot system is the pilot orifi ce, pilot hood, and thermopile. The pilot serves two purposes: lighting
the burners and heating the thermopile. In operation, the thermopile is in contact with the pilot fl ame
and generates millivolts. The millivolt output passes through a normally closed high-limit switch and
energizes the gas valve pilot coil, which opens the pilot valve. If the pilot fl ame is extinguished, the gas
valve pilot coil loses voltage and the pilot valve closes.
In units equipped with 24-volt electromechanical gas valves, a separate 24-volt circuit activated by the
fryer power switch provides voltage through the thermostat or controller to the gas valve main coil,
which opens the main valve. The main gas valve will not open if the pilot valve is not open. Light the
pilot fl ame manually using a match or the optional built-in piezo ignitor after installing the fryer.
1.1.2 Electronic Ignition
In units confi gured for electronic ignition, a black ignition module connected to an ignitor assembly
replaces the pilot system. The ignition module performs three important functions: supply voltage to the
gas valve, provide an ignition spark, and proof the pilot fl ame. The module contains a 4.5-second time
delay circuit and a coil that activates the gas valve. The ignitor assembly consists of a spark plug, a pilot,
and a fl ame sensor element.
At start-up the power switch is placed in the ON position, supplying 12 VDC to the heat control circuitry
in the controller or computer and to one side of the heat relay coil on the interface board. If resistance in
the temperature probe indicates the temperature in the frypot is below 180°F (82°C), the current fl ows
through a melt cycle circuit where a timer switch alternately closes for 3 seconds and opens for 24
seconds. If the temperature is 180°F (82°C) or above, the current fl ows through a heat circuit, bypassing
the timer switch. In either case, current is supplied to the other leg of the heat relay coil, which closes an
electronic switch in the 24 VAC circuit to provide current to the ignition module.
Circuitry in the ignition module sends 24 VAC current to the gas valve via a normally closed high-limit
switch and a drain safety switch. Simultaneously, the module causes the ignitor to spark for 4 seconds
to light the pilot fl ame. A fl ame sensor verifi es that the pilot is lit by measuring the fl ow of microamps
through the fl ame (can vary, averages 1.9 microamps). If the pilot does not light or is extinguished,
current to the ignition module is stopped, preventing the main valve from opening, and the ignition
module locks out until the power switch is turned OFF, then back ON.
1-1
1.1.3 Controller Options
Performance Pro gas fryers may be equipped with thermostat controls, analog controllers, digital
controllers, basket lift timers, or Computer Magic computers. In fryers equipped with thermostat control panels, the fryer and melt cycle are turned on and off using rocker switches and the temperature is set by
a knob connected directly to the frypot-mounted thermostat. These units have no interface board. When
the melt cycle switch is placed in the ON position, the fryer stays in the melt cycle mode until the switch
is manually placed in the OFF position, even if the oil is at setpoint temperature. In units equipped with
thermostat access doors, the temperature control knob is located behind the hinged front panel. Service
procedures for this type of thermostat are slightly different from units with other thermostat controls.
Fryers equipped with other types of controllers have an interface board located in the component shield
behind the control panel.
1.1.4 Thermostats and Temperature Probes
Performance Pro gas fryers may have different kinds of thermostats depending on their confi guration.
Fryers equipped with thermostat controls have an adjustable controlling thermostat. Adjust the temperature
at which the thermostat opens and closes by turning the attached knob. The Fenwal controlling thermostat
used in these fryers is sensitive to 1° changes in temperature.
Fryers equipped with other types of controls have a temperature probe. In these units, the probe resistance
varies directly with the temperature. As the temperature rises, so does the amount of resistance at a rate
of approximately 2 ohms for every 1° (F or C) of temperature (see Probe Resistance Chart, Section 1.6).
Circuitry in the controller monitors the probe resistance and controls burner fi ring when the resistance
exceeds or falls below programmed temperatures (i.e., setpoint). To program temperatures into the fryer,
use the keypad on the face of the controller. When testing temperature probes, unplug the 15-pin wiring
harness from the controller; otherwise, the reading may be incorrect due to extra resistance.
All open burner fryers are equipped with a high-limit thermostat. If the fryer fails to properly control oil
temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the fryer from overheating to fl ash point. The high-limit
thermostat acts as a normally closed power switch that opens when exposed to temperatures between
425°F to 450°F (218°C to 232°C). It will automatically reset when the oil temperature drops below
350°F (177°C).
1.2 Moving the Fryer for Servicing
If it is necessary to move the fryer before servicing, complete the following actions:
1. Drain the frypot.
2. Turn off the gas supply to the unit. Unplug any power cords. Disconnect the unit from the gas
supply.
3. Remove attached restraining devices, including chain restraints and anchor straps.
4. Relocate the fryer to an appropriate area for servicing.
1-2
After servicing is complete:
5. Return the fryer to its original location, reconnect the unit to the gas supply , and open the gas supply
valve. Be sure to reattach all restraining devices and plug in all electrical cords.
6. Refi ll the fryer with oil.

1.3.4 Adjusting Burner Ceramic Target Spacing and Alignment
Proper spacing of the top edge of the ceramic targets is ¾-inch (13 mm) from the frypot side. To adjust
target spacing, bend the brackets away or toward the frypot, as needed. A length of board ¾-inch thick is
useful as a gauge to verify spacing and alignment.
¾-inch
There should be approximately ¾-inch spacing between the top edge
of the targets and the side of the frypot.
1.3.5 Calibrating the Thermostat
Fryers with thermostat access doors:
1. Fill the frypot to the lower OIL-LEVEL line with cooking oil. If using solid shortening, pack it
tightly into the frypot before starting the calibration procedure.
2. Light the pilot. (See Chapter 3 of the Installation and Operation manual for detailed lighting
instructions.)
3. Insert a thermometer or pyrometer into the frypot, about 1-inch from the thermostat.
4. Open the thermostat access door and set the thermostat on the fryer to 325°F (162°C).
5. When oil reaches 325°F (162°C), allow the burners to cycle on and off three times.
6. Take a temperature reading when the burners go off for the third time.
7. Loosen the setscrews in the thermostat knob and turn the knob to the temperature established by the
thermometer/pyrometer reading.
1-5
8. Allow the burners to cycle on and off three more times and recheck the thermometer/pyrometer reading
against the thermostat setting. Temperature readings should be within 5°F (2.8°C) of setpoint.
Fryers with thermostat control panels:
NOTE: Remove the thermostat knob from its shaft to allow the control panel to hinge downward.
Follow the instructions in Section 1.4.2 to remove the knob and control panel.
1. Fill the frypot to the lower OIL-LEVEL line with cooking oil. If using solid shortening, pre-melt it
before starting the calibration procedure.
2. Ensure the fryer power switch is in the OFF position, and light the pilot. (Refer to Chapter 3 of the
Installation and Operation manual for detailed lighting instructions.)
3. Insert a thermometer or pyrometer into the frypot so that it
touches the thermostat guard.
4. Loosen the setscrew and stop screw securing the thermostat
shaft extension to the fl exible shaft. Remove the extension to
expose the slot in the end of the fl exible shaft.
5. Place the fryer power switch in the ON position.
NOTE: If the burner does not light at this time, it does not
mean the thermostat is defective.
Use a small fl at-head screwdriver to slowly turn the fl exible shaft counterclockwise until the burner
lights.
6. When the oil temperature reaches 325°F (162°C), slowly turn the fl exible shaft clockwise until the
burner turns off. Then, allow the fryer to sit for a few minutes.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 at least three times to ensure that the setting is accurate. The thermostat control
is considered properly calibrated if the burner lights when the cooking oil cools to 325°F (162°C).
Do not take the reading when the burner shuts off after raising the temperature.
The thermostat fl exible shaft
must not be rotated while
installing the thermostat
shaft extension!
Do not rotate the fl exible shaft
more than two turns in either
direction. Doing so will cause
damage to the thermostat.

1.3.6 Testing the Temperature Probe
1. While it is still in the frypot, inspect the probe body for damage. Inspect the leads for fraying,
burning, breaks, or kinks. If the probe is bent, dented, or cracked, or if the leads are damaged, replace
the probe.
2. Determine the temperature of the cooking oil using a thermometer or pyrometer placed at the tip of
the probe.
3. Disconnect the 15-pin wiring harness from the interface board. Measure the probe resistance using
J2 pins 13 and 14.
4. Resistance should approximately equal the given probe resistance for the corresponding temperature
on the chart in Section 1.6, Page 1-23. If not, the probe has failed and must be replaced. Probes
cannot be calibrated.
NOTE: A defective probe will cause inaccurate temperature measurements. If the temperature,
as measured by the probe, varies by more than 5°F
!
(2.8°C!) from the thermometer or pyrometer
reading, the probe should be replaced. Temperature probes cannot be calibrated.

1.5 Troubleshooting and Problem Isolation
Because it is not feasible to include every issue that might occur, 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. With this knowledge, the technician should be able to isolate and
1-14
correct any problem encountered.
1.5.1 Typical Problems
You are likely to encounter problems in these broad categories:
1. Pilot Failure
2. Ignition Failure
3. Improper Burner Function
4. Improper Temperature Control
5. Gas Valve Malfunction
Read the following sections to learn more about each category. A series of troubleshooting guides is
also included at the end of the chapter to assist in identifying some of the more common problems. In
addition, Section 1.5.2 will guide technicians through interpretation of digital controller lights, helpful
in diagnosing problems.
Pilot Failure
There are two types of pilot failure: no pilot fl ame and unreliable pilot fl ame.
No pilot fl ame:
• Insuffi cient gas supply
• Clogged pilot orifi ce
• Air in gas lines (usually in new installations).
6. Computer Malfunction
7. Filtration Malfunction
8. Leakage
9. Basket Lift Malfunction
Unreliable pilot fl ame:
• Open or grounded high limit
• Loose or corroded wire connections
• Low or no voltage out of thermopile
• Bad gas valve.
Ignition Failure
Ignition failure occurs when the gas valve no longer receives power, the gas supply stops, or the pilot
fl ame goes out. Solid-state controllers indicate ignition failure by illuminating the heat light and trouble
light simultaneously . Computers and digital timers will read HELP to indicate ignition failure. There are
three primary areas of focus in diagnosing and correcting ignition failure:
1. The gas and electrical power supplies
2. The electronic circuits
3. The gas valve.
The Gas and Electrical Power Supplies
The main indicators that the gas or electrical power supply is the cause of ignition failure are as follows:
an entire battery of fryers fails to light, and/or there are no indicator lights illuminated on the fryer
experiencing ignition failure. Verify that the quick disconnect hose is properly connected, the fryer is
plugged in, the main gas supply valve is open, and the circuit breaker for the fryer electrical supply is
not tripped.
1-15
The Electronic Circuits
If the fryer is receiving gas and electrical power, the next most likely cause of ignition failure is a problem
in the 24 VAC circuit of the pilot system. If the fryer is equipped with a drain valve for fi ltration purposes,
check the drain valve to verify that it is fully closed. A microswitch attached to the valve must be closed
for power to reach the gas valve. Often, although the valve handle appears to be in the closed position, the
microswitch is still open. If the valve is fully closed, or the fryer is not equipped with a fi ltration system,
refer to Troubleshooting the 24 VAC Circuit in Section 1.7.1 of this manual.
The Gas Valve
If the problem is not in the 24 VAC circuit of the pilot system, it is most likely in the gas valve. However,
before replacing the gas valve, refer to Troubleshooting the Gas Valve in Section 1.7.2 of this manual.
Improper Burner Function
In these types of instances, the burner ignites but exhibits abnormal characteristics, such as popping,
incomplete lighting of the burner, fl uctuating fl ame intensity, and fl ames “rolling” out of the fryer.
Popping indicates delayed ignition. In most cases, the main gas valve is opening, but the burner is not
immediately lighting. When ignition does take place, excess gas bursts into fl ame suddenly, rather than
smoothly igniting.
The primary causes of popping are:
1. Incorrect or fl uctuating gas pressure
2. Misdirected or weak pilot fl ame
3. Clogged burner orifi ces
4. Inadequate make-up air
5. Missing or misaligned burner defl ector targets
6. Clogged vent tube (causing incorrect gas pressure).
Incorrect or Fluctuating Gas Pressure
If popping occurs only during peak hours, the problem may be incorrect or fl uctuating gas pressure.
Verify that the incoming gas pressure (to the gas valve) is in accordance with the appropriate CE or nonCE standard found in the table on Page 1-4 and the pressure remains constant throughout all hours of
usage. Refer to Checking the Burner Manifold Pressure in Section 1.3.2 for instructions on checking the
pressure of gas supplied to the burner.
Misdirected or Weak Pilot Flame
If popping is consistent during all hours of operation, check position of the pilot above the burner orifi ce
and verify that the pilot pressure is correct. A 1- to 1 ½-inch (25 to 38 mm) fl ame indicates correct pilot
pressure. Refer to Section 1.3.3 for information on pilot fl ame adjustment.
Clogged Burner Orifi ces
1-16
Clogged burner orifi ces, especially those near the pilot, are also likely causes of delayed ignition. Lack of fl ame, fl ames that are orange in color, and fl ames that shoot out at an angle from the rest are indications
of clogged burner orifi ces. If only one side of the burner is lighting, the rear defl ector target may be
misaligned or missing completely. Improper burner pressure may also cause this. If there are gaps in
burner fi ring, check for clogged burner orifi ces.
Inadequate Make-up Air
Another cause of popping is an insuffi cient air supply or drafts that are blowing the pilot fl ame away
from the burner. Check for negative pressure conditions in the kitchen area. If air is fl owing into the
kitchen area, this indicates that more air is entering the kitchen than is leaving it. In a negative pressure
environment, the burners may not be receiving an adequate amount of air to maintain a strong pilot
fl ame.
Other Causes of Popping
Other causes of popping are more ambiguous and may have two or more possible causes to consider.
If the fryer’s gas and air supplies are okay, it is likely that the cause of the popping is one of the electrical
components. Examine the controller for signs of melting, distortion, and possibly discoloration due to
excessive heat buildup in the fryer (usually indicating improper fl ue performance). Automatically suspect
a discolored or distorted controller and replace it. However, it is important to diagnose and correct the
condition causing excessive heat in the fryer or the problem is likely to recur.
Fluctuating fl ame intensity is normally caused by improper or fl uctuating gas pressure or the result
of variations in the kitchen atmosphere. Verify incoming gas pressure in the same way as for popping,
discussed in the preceding paragraphs. Air condition and ventilation units (such as hoods) starting and
stopping throughout the day usually cause variations in the kitchen atmosphere. As they start and stop,
the pressure in the kitchen may change from positive or neutral to negative, or vice versa. They may also
cause changes in airfl ow patterns that may affect fl ame intensity.
Flames “rolling” out of the fryer are usually an indication of negative pressure in the kitchen. The
negative air pressure is sucking air out of the fryer enclosure and the fl ames are following the air. If
negative pressure is not the cause, check for high burner manifold gas pressure in accordance with the
procedures in Section 1.3.2. An obstructed fl ue, which prevents the fryer from properly exhausting, may
also be the cause.
An unusually noisy burner, especially when fl ames are visible above the fl ue opening, may indicate
that the burner gas pressure is too high or that the gas valve vent tube is blocked. If the gas pressure is
correct and the vent tube is unobstructed, the gas valve regulator is probably defective.
Occasionally , a burner may appear to be operating correctly , but it shows a slow recovery rate (discussed
on Page 1-18). The primary causes of this are low burner manifold pressure and misaligned or missing
defl ector targets. In some cases, the cause is a gas valve regulator that is out of adjustment. Refer to
Section 1.3.2 for instructions on checking the burner manifold pressure and Section 1.3.4 for adjusting
defl ector target positioning.
1-17
Improper Temperature Control
T emperature control—including that for the melt cycle—is a function of several interrelated components,
each of which must operate correctly. The principal component is the thermostat (in units equipped
with thermostat controls) or the temperature probe (in fryers equipped with other types of controllers).
Depending upon the specifi c confi guration of the fryer, it may also include an interface board and
controller. Problems with improper temperature control can be categorized into those issues concerning
melt cycle malfunctions and those concerning a failure to control at setpoint.
Melt Cycle
In fryers equipped with thermostat controls, the melt cycle is controlled with a solid state melt cycle
board and a melt cycle switch on the control panel. In all cases, replace the defective component.
In fryers equipped with other types of controllers, the problem may originate in the controller,
the temperature probe, or a malfunctioning heat relay on the interface board. For problem isolation
techniques, refer to the troubleshooting guides, T roubleshooting the Thermostat and Troubleshooting the Temperature Probe, in Section 1.7, Troubleshooting.

problem may originate in the temperature probe or probe circuit,
the interface board, or the controller. Refer to Troubleshooting the Temperature Probe, Section 1.7.4.,
for problem isolation techniques.
Gas Valve Malfunction
Occasionally, a gas valve may malfunction. Use Section 1.7.2, Troubleshooting the Gas Valve, to
determine if the valve has failed.
Computer Malfunction
Before diagnosing problems related to a computer controller, it is important to understand the use and
signifi cance of sensitivity and recovery.
Sensitivity and Recovery
Sensitivity—or “stretch time”—is a programmable feature, patented by Frymaster, which increases or
decreases the cook time countdown based on variation in the oil temperature from the setpoint. The
1-18
sensitivity for each product button has ten settings, 0-9. Setting sensitivity to “0” will disable the feature
completely , while a setting of “9” will provide the highest sensitivity or most change. The correct sensitivity
for any product is based on the type of product, its density, the setpoint temperature, and the customer’s
own requirements. A generic sensitivity chart is located on Page 1-5 of the Frymaster Fryer Controllers
manual (P/N 819-5916).
Recovery—or “rate of rise”— is a method of measuring a fryer’s performance. It is the time required for
the fryer to increase the oil temperature from 275°F to 325°F (135°C to 163°C). This range is the standard
since ambient kitchen temperatures can affect the test if lower ranges are used. The Computer Magic
computer controller performs the recovery test each day as the fryer heats-up. An operator can view the
results of the test any time the fryer is above 325°F (163°C) by pressing the
code 1652. The test results display in the computer’s LED panel in minutes and seconds. The acceptable
recovery time is 2:30 or less. Extended recovery is a sign that the fryer is not being regularly maintained
or it is in need of servicing. The recovery time lengthens as fryer health declines. This is a useful tool for
gauging the condition of the fryer and should be checked regularly.
Common Computer Complaints
Most problems with Computer Magic controllers stem from programming issues. There are four common
complaints.
2. Fryer constantly displays temperature.
Cause: The computer has been programmed to constantly display the temperature.
Fix: Press 165L.
3. Fryer displays temperature in Celsius.
Cause: The computer has been programmed to display in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit.
Fix: Press
4. Computer times down too slowly or too quickly.
Cause: The computer is compensating for oil temperature via the sensitivity setting.
1650, enter the correct setpoint using the keypad, then press to lock-in the new
1658.
Fix: Reprogram the sensitivity setting for each product by following the programming instructions in
the Installation and Operation manual or the Frymaster Fryers Controllers manual (P/N 819-5916).
1-19
Filtration Malfunction
The majority of fi ltration malfunctions arise from operator error. One of the most common errors is
placing the fi lter paper on the bottom of the fi lter pan rather than over the fi lter screen.
Inspect the fi lter paper to ensure that it is correctly sized and placed. Incorrectly sized or installed fi lter
paper will allow particles and sediment to pass through the fi lter pan and into the pump. When sediment
enters the pump, the gears can bind and cause the motor to overheat. If the motor overheats, the thermal
overload will trip to protect the motor from further damage. Reset the motor by pressing the red reset
button the end of the motor nearest the operator. Sediment cannot enter the pump when the correct
fi lter paper is used properly.
While you are checking the fi lter paper, verify that the O-rings on the fi lter pan and connectors are
present and in good condition. Missing or worn O-rings will allow the pump to suck air and decrease its
effi ciency.
A pump seized by debris or hard shortening can usually be freed by manually moving the gears with a
screwdriver or other tool.
1. Disconnect power to the fi lter system.
2. Remove the input plumbing from the pump.
3. Use a screwdriver to manually turn the gears.
• Turn the pump gears backward to release a hard particle and remove it.
• Turn the pump gears forward to push softer objects and solid shortening through the pump and allow
the gears to move freely.
Incorrectly sized or installed paper will also allow food particles and sediment to pass through and clog
the suction tube on the bottom of the fi lter carriage. Particles large enough to block the suction tube may
indicate that the crumb tray is not being used during fi ltering.
Pan blockage can also occur if shortening remains in the pan and solidifi es. The heater strip on the suction
tube prevents solidifi cation of residual shortening left in the tube. It will not melt or prevent solidifi cation of
shortening in the pan. Remove blockages by forcing the item out with an auger or drain snake. Compressed
air or other pressurized gases should not be used to force out the blockage.
The Power Shower may need service for clogged openings, shortening solidifi ed in the tubes, missing
clean-out plugs, and missing or worn O-rings. T o correct these problems, clean the unit and replace missing
or worn plugs and O-rings.

Leakage
When a frypot appears to be leaking, suspect the areas where high-limit thermostats, temperature probes,
and drain fi ttings attach to the frypot. When installed or replaced, seal each of these components with
Loctite PST56765 sealant or equivalent to prevent leakage.
If oil coats the sides or ends of the frypot, the most likely cause is spillage over the top of the frypot.
There may also be oil pooled on the fl oor below the fryer. This is not necessarily a sign that the frypot is leaking.
It is important to check the joints between round drain sections and all of the fi ttings. If removing a section
of drain tube connected to the drain valve for any reason, make sure that the O-rings are in good condition
and properly fi tted within the drain during reinstallation. Ensure that the clamps are tight and that the
nut holding them onto the stud of the tube is not stripped or loose. Also, check that the drain tube runs
downward from the drain along its whole length and has no low points where oil may accumulate.
In very rare cases, a leak may develop along one of the welded edges of the frypot. When this type of leak
is suspected, thoroughly inspect the frypot. If it is defi nitely leaking, replace the frypot.
Basket Lift Malfunction
Performance Pro series gas fryers may be optionally equipped with automatic basket lifts to ensure uniform
cooking time. The lifts can be controlled manually or through a basket lift timer or Computer Magic
computer. Basket lifts will always come in pairs, although each operates independently.
Each basket lift consists of a basket lift arm attached to a toothed rod, a reversible-drive gear motor, and
a pair of roller-activated microswitches. The gear motor engages the teeth on the rod and moves it up or
down based on the motor’s rotation. Microswitches at the upper and lower limits of movement stop the
motor when the basket is fully up or down. They also reverse the direction of current fl ow to reverse the
motor direction. When the manually set or programmed cooking time has elapsed, the basket lift receives
current and raises the basket out of the oil.
In units confi gured for manual (push-button) controls, a mechanical or electrical timer controls voltage
to the system. Turning a rotary knob sets the cook time, and pressing the button in the middle of the knob
activates the motor. When the timer times down, power is supplied to the opposite pole of the motor
through the upper microswitch. The motor drives the rod upward until it loses contact with the upper
microswitch, cutting power to the motor and stopping the lift.
In units confi gured for basket lift timers or Computer Magic computers, the process is almost identical.
The difference is that the push button mechanical timer is replaced with timing circuitry in the computer
or controller. The operator programs the specifi c cook times (and other settings) into the computer or
controller. When the product button is pressed, the timing circuitry activates a coil in the basket lift relay
to supply power to the lower microswitch. As with the manually controlled units, the microswitches stop
the motor at the lift’s upper and lower travel limits and reverse the direction of current fl ow, reversing the
motor’s direction.
There are three basket lift problem types. They are
• binds and jams,
• motor and gear wear, and
1-22
• electronics failure.
Binds and Jams
Noisy, jerky, or erratic movement of the lifts is usually due to lack of lubrication of the rods and their
bushings. Apply a light coat of Lubriplate™ or similar lightweight white grease to the rod and bushings
to correct the problem.
Another possible cause of binding is the improper positioning of the motor, which prevents the gear from
correctly engaging the teeth in the rod. To correct the problem, loosen the screws that hold the motor in
place and move it forward or backward until the rod has just enough slack to be rotated slightly.
Motor and Gear Wear
The most likely problem 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.
Correct the problem by replacing the worn gear.
If the lift cycles correctly but fails to remain in the “up” position (i.e., goes up, but then slowly settles back
down into the frypot), the problem is a failed motor brake. The brake cannot be repaired and the motor
must be replaced.
If the motor fails to run when power is reaching it, replace the motor because it has burned-out.
Electronics Failure
An electronics failure may be caused by relays, microswitches, capacitors, resistors, interface boards,
wiring, and controls. Troubleshooting electronics is a process of verifying current fl ow through the
individual components up to and including the motor. Using a multimeter set to the 250 VAC range, check
the connections on both sides of each component for the presence of 120 VAC. Examine the diagrams on
Pages 1-31 and 1-32 to identify components and wiring connection points. (See Page 1-22 for simplifi ed
basket lift schematics.)

1.5.2 Interpretation of Analog Controller Lights
Power light ON, heat light cycling, trouble light OFF, and melt light ON:
• If the fryer oil temperature is below 180°F (82°C), the lights indicate that the unit is operating
normally.
• If the fryer oil temperature is above 180°F (82°C) and the heat light continues to cycle as if in the
melt cycle, this may indicate a defective probe circuit or low incoming 12 VAC to the controller.
Power light ON, heat light ON, trouble light OFF, and melt light OFF:
• If the fryer oil temperature is above 180°F (82°C) and below the setpoint temperature, the lights
indicate that the unit is operating normally.
• If the fryer oil temperature is above setpoint and the heat light remains lit, this may indicate a defective
probe circuit.
Power light ON, heat light OFF, trouble light ON, and melt light OFF:
• If the fryer oil temperature is below 410°F (210°C), the lights indicate one of the following:
a. The probe circuit is defective, or
b. There is a connection problem on pins 2 or 10 on the 15-pin wiring harness.
• If the fryer oil temperature is above 410°F (210°C), the lights indicate a “run-away” heating circuit.

24 VAC is not present at V1S (V1D and V2D on dual-vat units).• Failed interface board
• If 24 VAC is present all the way through to the high-limit, go to Troubleshooting the Gas Valve, Section 1.7.2.
1.7.2 Troubleshooting the Gas Valve
Before troubleshooting, verify that the gas main street valve is open and the fryer gasline cutoff valve is
open. Place the gas valve in the ON position.
PROBLEMPROBABLE CAUSES
Incoming gas pressure is too high or low.• Problem with gas supply
Pilot won’t remain lit, low millivolt output from thermopile.• Failed thermopile
Pilot won’t remain lit, good millivolt output from thermopile.• Failed gas valve
• Failed high-limit
• If 24 VAC is not present at the gas valve, go to Troubleshooting the 24 VAC Circuit, Section 1.7.1.
1.7.3 Troubleshooting the Thermostat
Check the calibration of the thermostat before troubleshooting, if possible.
PROBLEM
The burner does not light when the thermostat is set to the maximum setting.
• Failed thermostat
• Failed wiring
PROBABLE CAUSES
• If 24 VAC is present at the gas valve, but the burner is not lighting, go to Troubleshooting the Gas Valve, Section 1.7.2.

1.7.4 Troubleshooting the Temperature Probe
Follow these guidelines to troubleshoot the temperature probe:
1. While it is still in the frypot, inspect the probe body for damage. Inspect the leads for fraying, burning,
breaks, or kinks. If the probe is bent, dented, or cracked, or if the leads are damaged, replace the
probe.
2. Determine the temperature of the cooking oil using a thermometer or pyrometer placed at the tip of
the probe.
3. Disconnect the 15-pin wiring harness from the interface board. Measure the probe resistance using J2
pins 13 and 14.
4. Resistance should approximately equal the given probe resistance for the corresponding temperature
on the chart in Section 1.6, Page 1-23. If not, the probe has failed and must be replaced. Probes cannot
be calibrated.
5. If the resistance matches the corresponding temperature on the chart, measure the resistance through
J2 pin 13 and ground. Then, through J2 14 and ground. If the resistance of each pin is 5 megaohms
or greater, the probe is working correctly. If the resistance is less than 5 megaohms, it has failed and
must be replaced.
