SECTION 2. MAINTENANCE

2-1. INTRODUCTION

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.

2-2. MAINTENANCE HINTS

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.

2-3. HIGH TEMPERATURE
LIMIT CONTROL

(Gas Units)

which senses the temperature of the shortening. If the short-

This high temperature control is a safety, manual reset control,

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.

Figure 2-1
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.

and remove the high limit and bracket from unit. Figure 2-4.

Figure 2-4 4. Remove the two screws securing the high limit to the bracket
and remove the high limit from bracket.

5. Remove the two electrical wires from the high temperature
limit control. Figure 2-5.

Figure 2-5

6. Manually reset the control, then check for continuity between
the two terminals after resetting the 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.)

Replacement 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. If the tube is broken or cracked, the control opens, shutting
off electrical power to the heat circuit. The control cannot be
reset, and it continuously clicks when pushed.

2. Drain the shortening from the frypot and discard. A substance
from the tube could contaminate the shortening.

Figure 2-6 3. Remove the control panel.

4. Using a 5/16” wrench, loosen small inside screw nut on
capillary tube. Figure 2-6.

5. Using a 11/16” crows-foot, remove the larger nut securing the
capillary tube to the pot. Figure 2-7.

6. Remove the two screws securing the high limit guard and
Figure 2-7 remove guard. Figure 2-8

7. Straighten the capillary tube inside the frypot, and pull the
capillary tube through the frypot, from behind the control
panel. Remove the defective high limit from the control panel
area.

8. Replace new high limit in reverse order.

Figure 2-8

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.

2-4. COMPLETE CONTROL Should the control board become inoperative, follow these
PANEL REPLACEMENT

instructions for replacing the board.

1. Remove electrical power supplied to the unit.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the

power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.

2. Remove the two screws securing the control panel and lift out.
Figure 2-9 Figure 2-9.

3. Unplug the wire connectors going to the control panel.
Figure 2-10.

4. Remove transformer(s) from control panel. They must be
installed on the replacement panels.

5. Install new control panel in reverse order.

When plugging connectors onto new control panel, be sure the

connectors are inserted onto all of the pins, and that the
connectors are not forced onto the pins backwards. If not
Figure 2-10 connected properly, damage to the board could result.

2-5. POWER SWITCH

1. Remove electrical power supplied to fryer.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit

breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.

2. Remove control panel.

3. Label and remove wires from the switch. With test instrument
Figure 2-11 check across the terminals of the switch with switch in the on
position, and the circuit should be closed. In the off position,
the circuit should be open. If the switch checks defective,
replace by continuing with this procedure. Figure 2-11.

2-6. TEMPERATURE PROBE The temperature probe relays the actual shortening temperature

REPLACEMENT (Gas) to the control board. If it becomes disabled, “E06” shows in the

display. Also, if the shortening temperature is out of calibration
more than 10°F or C°, the probe should be replaced. An Ohm check
can be performed also. See chart below.

1. Remove electrical power supplied to the fryer.

2-8. FLAME SENSOR/

PILOT / IGNITOR
ASSEMBLY (GAS)

The Henny Penny open fryer (gas) has electronic spark ignition

that lights a standing pilot. The gap between the spark electrode

and the pilot hood should be1/8 of an inch (3.18 mm). The
flame sensor recognizes the pilot flame and allows gas to continue
to the pilot. The flame sensor must send a minimum of two (2)
micro amps to the ignition module. The pilot flame should be split
in two by the flame sensor, causing the flame sensor to be bright
red in color.

1. Remove electrical power supplied to the unit.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the

power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.

TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY

DAMAGE, BEFORE STARTING THIS
PROCEDURE, MOVE THE MAIN POWER SWITCH
TO THE OFF POSITION. DISCONNECT THE MAIN
CIRCUIT BREAKERS AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
BOX OR UNPLUG SERVICE CORD FROM WALL
RECEPTACLE. TURN OFF THE MAIN GAS
SUPPLY TO THE FRYER AND DISCONNECT AND
CAP THE MAIN SUPPLY LINE TO FRYER, OR
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.

2-9. IGNITION MODULE During normal operation, the ignition modules send 24 volts to the
ignitors and gas valve. If a module does not sense a pilot flame,
the module starts the ignition process again. But, if a pilot light
goes out for longer that 10 seconds, or it goes out 3 times within 10
seconds, the module keeps the 24 volts from reaching the gas
valve. The burners shut down.

1. Remove electrical power supplied to the unit.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the

power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
