FRYER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Continued)
PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY
Pilot flame goes out
repeatedly.
1. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6”
W.C. for natural gas; (11” W.C. for pro-
pane) when all other gas-powered kitchen
equipment is operating].
2. Loose thermocouple or high-limit thermo-
stat connection(s) on gas control valve.
3. Pilot flame does not continuously touch
the thermocouple because of excessive
air flow around the pilot burner assembly.
4. High-limit thermostat problem has shut off
the gas.
1. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
pressure.
2. Check and tighten the connec-
tions.
3. Block the excessive air flow to
make the pilot flame contact
the thermocouple.
4. Check for, and repair, any dam-
aged high-limit thermostat wir-
ing. [For model 14GSU fryer
ONLY: Press the reset push-
button on the high-limit thermo-
stat control. Perform the Light-
ing Procedure, to check wheth-
er the pilot flame lights. If the
pilot flame stays lit, the high-
limit thermostat has failed and
must be replaced. ]
Pilot flame does not
stay lighted. (Continued)
6. High-limit thermostat problem has shut off
the gas. (Continued)
7. Gas control valve has failed.
CAUTION: DO NOT return
the fryer to normal operation
with its high-limit thermostat
bypassed/disconnected.

6. (Continued)
For model 14GS, MX-14EG,
and MX14-EGU fryers ONLY:
Test the high-limit thermostat
by disconnecting the thermo-
couple at the gas control valve.
Then, disconnect the red wires
to the high-limit thermostat
from the gas control valve.
Reconnect the thermocouple;
next, perform the Lighting Pro-
cedure, to check whether the
pilot flame lights. If the pilot
flame stays lit, the high-limit
thermostat has failed and must
be replaced.
7. Replace the gas control valve.
