CHAPTER 6: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Introduction
This chapter provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur
during the operation of your equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help
you correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with your 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 your 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 while you’re at it. If a fuse continues to blow, 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.
Some of the troubleshooting actions recommended in this chapter involve removing suspect
components and substituting components that are known to be good. Whenever this in indicated,
refer to Sections 6.7 for specific instructions
If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical
Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Center for assistance.
