What to do if my BKI FKM Fryer has pressure loss or is not releasing pressure?

  Christina SuttonJul 30, 2025
  If your BKI Fryer is experiencing pressure loss or not releasing pressure, the dead weight valve might be leaking. Try cleaning the weight and orifice. If the problem persists, or if you suspect a leaking lid gasket, a leaking or stuck solenoid valve, or a safety valve not seating properly, contact an authorized BKI service agent for corrective action. To check the solenoid valve, activate the valve by starting a cook cycle; you should hear a solid metallic CLICK sound. If you hear no sound or a slow BUZZING CLICK, this indicates a problem.

Why is my BKI FKM shortening heating too slowly?

  If the shortening in your BKI Fryer is heating too slowly, several factors could be responsible. It might be due to breading buildup on the heating elements, which requires cleaning. If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, or if you suspect low or improper voltage, a bad thermostat, loose wires, weak heating elements, or a bad coil on the contactor, it is best to contact an authorized BKI service agent for corrective action.
