SECTION 2. MAINTENANCE
2-1. INTRODUCTION This section provides procedures for the checkout 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 The high temperature limit control is a safety, manual reset control
(Gas Units) that senses the temperature of the shortening. If the shortening
temperature exceeds 425F (218C), this switch will open
and shut 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.
This will allow heat to be supplied to the frypot once again.
Checkout Before replacing a high temperature limit control, check to see
that its circuit is closed.
The shortening temperature must be below 380F
(193C) to accurately perform this check.
Checkout:
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 the control panel.

3. Remove the two nuts securing the high limit bracket to the unit
and pull the bracket from the unit.
4. Remove the two screws securing the high limit to the bracket,
and remove the high limit from the bracket.
5. Remove the two electrical wires from the high temperature
limit control.
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. Reconnect 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 will open, shutting
off electrical power to the heat circuit. The control cannot be
reset, and it will continuously click when pushed.
2. Drain the shortening from the frypot and discard. A substance
in the tube could contaminate the shortening.
3. Remove the control panel.
4. Loosen small inside screw nut on capillary tube.

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.
12. Insert capillary line through brackets on heat tube, and then
pull back through pot wall until capillary bulb is secure in
brackets.
13. Pull excess capillary line from pot and tighten nut into frypot
wall.

Model OFE/OFG-321,322,323,324
2-9. IGNITOR MODULE During normal operation, the ignition modules send 24 volts to the
ignitors and gas control 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
control 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.
2. Remove the control panel as discussed in Complete Control Panel
Replacement Section.

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. The following check should be made to determine if the drain
microswitch is defective.
a. Remove the two screws securing the microswitch to the
drain rod valve bracket.
b. Remove wires from the switch.
c. Check for continuity across the two outside terminals of the
drain switch. If the circuit is open, the drain switch is
defective. The circuit should only be opened by pressing on
the actuator of the drain switch.
3. Replace switch in reverse order.

ASSEMBLY The gas control valve assembly controls the flow of gas to the pilot
and the main burner. The valve has two 24 volt coils, which are
regulated by terminals P and M on the valve. The C terminal is the
common terminal. For gas flow to the pilot, 24 VAC must be
present between the P and C terminals. For gas flow to the main
burner, 24 VAC must be present between the M and C terminals.
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.
1. Remove control panel assembly.
2. Remove wires from gas control valve.

3. Using a 7/16 inch wrench, remove the pilot line from the gas
control valve.
4. Using a 1 inch wrench, loosen the nut securing the main gas
inlet line to the gas control valve.
5. Using 5/8 inch wrench, remove the two burner gas line fittings
at the black tee fitting, located behind the control panel area.
6. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the three screws
securing the gas control valve bracket to the frame of the fryer
behind the control panel area.

7. With the bracket dropped down, remove the two screws behind
the bracket securing the gas control valve to the bracket.
8. Install the new gas control valve in reverse order.
2-17. BLOWER MOTOR
ASSEMBLY The blower motor assembly induces the draft for the burners. If the
blower motor fails, the air switch will fail to close, causing an
“E-20B” error code in the display.
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 screws securing the two rear covers to the unit.
3. Remove the wire cover from the blower motor housing.

2-18. HEATING ELEMENTS
(ELECTRIC ONLY)
Heating elements are available for 208 and 230 volts. Check
data plate to determine correct voltage.
Checkout:
If the shortenings temperature recovery is very slow or at a slower
rate than required, this may indicate defective heating element(s).
An ohmmeter will quickly indicate if the elements are shorted or
open.
1. Remove electrical power supplied to the frypot to be worked on.
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 the frypot
to be worked on. Be aware the other controls will have
power.
2. Remove control panel.

disconnected from element. If the resistance is not within
tolerance, replace the element.
Voltage Wattage Resistance Ohms (cold)
208 4800 9
230 4800 11
Replacement:
Refer to figure 2-2.
1. Drain the shortening from the frypot.
2. Remove the high limit bulb holder from the heating element
inside the frypot.
3. Remove the heating element wires from the terminals by
removing the nuts and washers. Label each so it can be
replaced on the new element in the same position.
4. Remove the bolts from the five element spreaders. The
element spreaders will now pull off the elements.
5. Remove the brass nuts and washers which secure the ends of
the elements through the frypot wall.
6. Remove the heating elements from the frypot as a group by
lifting the far end and sliding them up and out toward the
rear of the frypot.
Always install new rubber O-rings when installing heater
elements.
7. Install new heating elements with the new O-rings, terminal
end first at approximately a 45 angle, slipping the terminals
through the front wall of the frypot.
8. Replace the brass nuts and washers on the element terminals.
Tighten the brass nuts to 30 foot lbs. of torque.

elements and reinstall bolts. Place the fifth spreader in the
front of the elements as to protect the temperature probe.

10. Replace the high limit bulb holder on the top element, and
position the bulb between the top and second element
midway from side to side, and tighten screw that holds the
bulb in place.
11. Reconnect the wires to the appropriate terminal as labeled
when they were removed.

circuit breaker.
Heating elements should never be energized without
shortening in the frypot, or damage to the elements could
result.
