Improper element wiring: The fryer elements
contain separate wires (two for each phase).
Improper wiring connections will cause one or
more of the following symptoms:
• Slowly rising or creeping fryer temperature.
• Improper amperage draw.
• Slow Recovery.
• Over heating
Defective elements: Elements shorted
internally cause several symptoms, which are
similar to incorrect element wiring. These
elements must be replaced; they cannot be
repaired.
When the fryer is on, an element with
two phases connecting internally will heat
continuously. Use an amp meter on the element
wires to determine which phases are shorted.
Perform the check when the fryer is not calling
for heat.
When an element shorts to the chassis or element
housing, it heats continuously when the fryer is on.
An amp meter will identify the line drawing current.
Check when the fryer is not calling for heat.
