If the filter pump in your GILES Fryer starts, runs briefly, and then stops, it indicates that the pressure switch has shut down the pump due to high pressure to avoid blown seals. This could be due to pumping against a closed valve or a solid blockage. Verify the valve operation. If needed, call a service technician.
What causes the GILES Fryer high limit safety to trip before reaching setpoint?
If the high-limit safety trips on your GILES Fryer before reaching the setpoint, with the POWER light on, HEAT switch in the HEAT position, amber HEAT light on, controller HEAT indicator on, and the control panel red HI-LIMIT light on, it could be due to a failed Hi-Limit thermostat, a misaligned Hi-limit probe that's too close to the heating element, a power line spike causing a false hi-limit trip, or cold oil causing a false Hi-Limit during initial heating. For a failed thermostat, misaligned probe, or power line spike, you should call for service. Continuously stirring while heating cold oil will help prevent the issue.

What to do if oil doesn't circulate or return to refill vat when filtering in GILES Fryer?
If oil doesn’t circulate or return to the vat for refilling when filtering in your GILES Fryer, the OIL RETURN valve inside the cabinet might be in the CLOSE position. Move the valve to the OPEN position. The pump should start after the pressure is relieved. If the issue persists, the pump switch on the control panel may have failed, and you should call for service.
What to do if connected to bulk waste oil handling system and waste oil will not pump from filter pan to collection tank in GILES Fryer?
If your GILES Fryer is connected to a bulk waste oil handling system and waste oil will not pump from the filter pan to the collection tank: * Ensure the WASTE OIL valve inside the cabinet is in the OPEN position. The pump should start after pressure is relieved. * If the oil line to the collection tank is clogged, call the system dealer for service. * The bulk collection tank may be full. Call the waste oil collection company for pick-up service.
How to fix a GILES Fryer that won't turn on?
If your GILES Fryer will not turn on and the POWER light on the Control Panel is not illuminated, there are a few potential causes. First, check the kitchen's electrical panel to ensure that the circuit breaker has not tripped, and reset it if necessary. Second, inspect the fryer's fuses, located inside the cabinet in the upper right-hand corner, and replace any blown fuses. If neither of these resolves the issue, the power switch may be faulty, requiring a service technician.
What to do if my GILES GBF-70 Fryer is not heating up?
If your GILES Fryer is not heating, the control panel POWER light is on, the HEAT switch is in the HEAT position, but the control panel amber HEAT light is off, and the controller HEAT indicator is off, consider the following: * If a “POWER FAILURE” message is showing, press the START key to enter PREHEAT mode. * Verify that the actual oil temperature is not higher than the controller setpoint. After a boil-out cycle, the setting automatically changes to 50°F. * Also, check if a “DRAIN OPEN” message is displayed with an alarm, and ensure the drain valve is fully closed. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it could be due to a faulty controller, temperature sensor, contactor, or HEAT switch, in which case you should call for service.
What causes oil circulation problems during filtering in my GILES Fryer?
If the oil in your GILES Fryer doesn’t circulate or return to refill vat when filtering, and you always refer to the Controller Upper Display for alarm error messages and/or operational prompts & instructions, it means that the automated OIL RETURN valve has failed to OPEN, causing the pump to shut down due to high pressure. A service technician is required.
Why is the oil not circulating in my GILES GBF-70 during filtering?
If the oil in your GILES Fryer doesn’t circulate or return to the refill vat when filtering, there could be several reasons. First, the oil might be too cold to pump; manually remove the thick oil from the pan. Second, the filter pan might be packed with excessive cooking residue, preventing the pump from drawing; clean the filter pan and refresh the filter media. Third, the filter pan might be assembled incorrectly; verify that the pan is assembled properly. Finally, air might be leaking into the filter plumbing; verify that the filter pan hose connection is secure.
