YFPRE18E ELECTRIC FRYER CHAPTER 6: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 Introduction This section provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur during the operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with this equipment. Although the chapter covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered.
6.2 Troubleshooting 6.2.1 Controller and Heating Problems Problem Controller won't activate. Probable Causes Corrective Action A. Power cord is not plugged in or circuit breaker is tripped. A. Plug power cord in and verify that circuit breaker is not tripped. B. Controller or power supply component or interface board has failed. B.
Problem Fryer repeatedly cycles on and off when first started. Fryer heats until high limit trips with heat indicator ON. Fryer heats until high limit trips without heat indicator ON. Fryer stops heating with heat indicator ON. Probable Causes Fryer is in melt-cycle mode. Corrective Action This is normal behavior. Refer to the separate YUM! Wingstreet Controller Manual. Temperature probe or controller has failed. Turn fryer off and call FASC. Contactor or controller has failed. Call FASC.
Problem Probable Causes Blockage in filter pan suction tube. Filter pump runs but oil does not return to frypot and there is no bubbling oil. Test: Close the drain valve and pull the filter pan out from the fryer. Activate the pump. If bubbling oil occurs, there is a blockage in the filter pan suction tube. Corrective Action The blockage may be caused by sediment buildup or, if solid shortening is used, solidified shortening in the tube. Use a thin, flexible wire to remove the blockage.
