TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART
PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Power On light does not come on
a. No electricity to Top-Side
™
Cooker.
b. On/Off switch is faulty.
a. Connect Top-Side
™
Cooker to an
approved source of power.
b. Replace On/Off switch.
Element On light does not illuminate
and Cooking Head will not heat
a. Connections to thermostat are loose or
thermostat is faulty.
b. Connections to thermostat temperature
probe are loose or probe is faulty.
c. Hi-Limit has tripped or Hi-Limit is faulty.
NOTE:
Hi-Limit is self-resetting.
d. Connections to Hi-Limit are loose or
Hi-Limit is faulty.
e. Connections to contactor are loose or
contactor is faulty.
f. On/Off switch is faulty.
a. Check connections and tighten where
necessary. If thermostat is faulty,
replace it.
b. Check connections and tighten where
necessary. If probe is faulty, replace it.
c. Wait until Cooking Head cools down.
If Element On light will not come on
Hi-Limit if faulty, replace it.
d. Check connections and tighten where
necessary.
e. Check connections and tighten where
necessary. If contactor is faulty,
replace it.
f. Replace On/Off switch.
Element On light does not illuminate
but Cooking Head does heat
a. Element On light is faulty.
a. Replace Element On light.
Element On light fl ashes once whenever
power is turned on
a. Thermostat temperature probe or
wires have shorted out.
a. Replace probe and/or wires
. Use
conductive heat paste when installing
new probe.
Temperature of Cooking Head is erratic
a. If erratic, thermostat is faulty.
a. Replace thermostat.
TROUBLE SHOOTING THE THERMOSTAT
PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Temperature reading is incorrect, showing
a sensor error, or LOAD LED is
switching at the wrong temperature.
a. Sensor or controller may be bad.
Sensor connections may be bad.
b. Controller is wired incorrectly.
a. Place a jumper wire across the
thermocouple input terminals.
The display should indicate ambient
temperature. If it does, the controller
is ok. If not, replace controller.
Decrease set point below ambient
temperature, LOAD LED should be off
for heating controllers. If it is, the
controller is OK.
Increase set point above ambient
temperature. LOAD LED should be on
for heating controllers. If it is, the
controller is OK.
b. Verify proper wiring.
Call 1-800-KEATING for a diagram.
Temperature reading is decreasing, but
actual temperature is increasing.
a. Thermocouple polarity is reversed.
Red wire denotes negative wire.
b. Ambient temperature in the control
cabinet is over 70°C.
a. Check thermocouple connections.
All connections, including extension
wire, must maintain the correct
polarity. Correct if needed.
b. Measure temperature in cabinet to
ensure it is below 70°C.
