1.6 Replacing a Heating Element
1. Perform Steps 1-3 of section 1.5, Replacing a Temperature Probe.
2. On full-vat fryers where the temperature probe is attached to the element being replaced,
disconnect the wire harness containing the probe wiring. Using a pin pusher, disconnect the
probe wires from the 12-pin connector C-6.
3. In the rear of the fryer directly behind the frypot, disconnect the 6-pin connector for the left
element (as viewed from the front of the fryer) or the 9-pin connector for the right element.
Press in on the tabs on each side of the connector while pulling outward on the free end to extend
the connector and release the element leads (see photo below). Pull the leads out of the
connector and out of the wire sleeving.
4. Raise the element to the full up position and support the elements.
5. Remove the hex head screws and nuts that secure the element to the tube assembly and pull the
element out of the frypot. NOTE: Full-vat elements consist of two dual-vat elements clamped
together. For full-vat units, remove the element clamps before removing the nuts and screws that
secure the element to the tube assembly.
6. If applicable, recover the probe bracket and probe from the element being replaced and install
them on the replacement element. Install the replacement element in the frypot, securing it with
the nuts and screws removed in Step 5 to the tube assembly. Ensure the gasket is between the
tube and element assembly.
7. Route the element leads through the element tube assembly
and into the wire sleeving to prevent chafing. Ensure that
the wire sleeving is routed back through the Heyco bushing
keeping it clear from the lift springs. Also, ensure that the
wire sleeving extends into the tube assembly to prevent the
edge of the tube assembly from chafing the wires. Press the
pins into the connector in accordance with the diagram
below, and then close the connector to lock the leads in
place. NOTE: It is critical that the wires be routed through
the sleeving to prevent chafing.
