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. In such
instances, the Frymaster Technical Services staff will make every effort to help you identify and
resolve the problem.
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest
solution and working through to the most complex. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear
idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of any corrective action involves taking steps to ensure
that it doesn’t happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all
other connections, too. If a circuit breaker continues to trip, find out why. Always keep in mind that
failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning of a
more important component or system.
Before calling a service agent or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):
•
Verify that electrical cord is plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.
•
Verify that shunt has not been tripped.
