If the oil pump is sticking in your Giles Commercial Food Equipment fryer, it could be because boil out was run through the pump, in which case you should disassemble and re-oil the pump. Another reason could be old oil was allowed to sit in the pump; run clean oil through the pump.
What to do if my GILES GEF-560-VH Fryer VH model displays 'CLOGGED FILTER'?
If your GILES Fryer (VH Model) shows a 'CLOGGED FILTER' message with a constant alarm, the charcoal filter is likely clogged and needs replacement. Other potential causes include a vacuum switch that requires adjustment or replacement, clogged or kinked vacuum lines, a fan running too slow (check the voltage), or a fan clogged with grease film (clean the fan).
Why is oil smoking in my GILES GEF-560-VH Fryer?
Oil smoking in your GILES Fryer can occur for several reasons. The oil may have broken down from extended use, requiring a change. The cooking temperature might be too high, so check and adjust the temperature setpoint. Dirty heating elements can also cause smoking, so perform a boil-out to clean them. Element failure, improper supply voltage, or a low oil level could also be responsible. Ensure the oil level is at the FULL mark and verify the incoming power supply.
What to do if GILES GEF-560-VH Fryer will not heat, but the power light is on?
If your GILES Fryer isn't heating up despite the power light being on and the selector switch in the COOK position, there are several potential causes. The preset temperature for the selected menu might be below the actual oil temperature, requiring you to reset the temperature or allow the oil to cool. A DRAIN OPEN message with an alarm could indicate that the valve isn't fully closed. Other possible issues include a faulty controller, a faulty temperature sensor (indicated by Er13), a faulty contactor, a faulty selector switch, or an incomplete power-up procedure. In the latter case, press [START] to begin PREHEAT.
Why is my GILES Fryer heating slowly?
If your GILES Fryer is heating slowly with the heat light constantly on, the issue could stem from several factors. Improper cooking procedures might be the cause, so consult the Operations Manual for guidance. One or more heating elements could be faulty and need replacement. A failing contactor, loose wiring, or low voltage coming to the fryer could also contribute to slow heating. Check and repair the wiring and supply power as needed.
What to do when GILES Commercial Food Equipment fryer alarm emits constant tone and won't heat?
If your Giles Commercial Food Equipment fryer is not heating, the power light is on, the selector switch is in the cook position, the heat light is off, and the alarm is emitting a constant tone (VH Model only), the charcoal filter may be clogged and needs replacement. Alternatively, the clogged filter switch may be bad and require replacement. Check for any kinks in the vacuum line and remove them. Also, the fan may be running slow; check the voltage and clean the fan blades.
What to do if GILES Commercial Food Equipment fryer shows 'Filter missing' and won't heat?
If your Giles Commercial Food Equipment fryer isn't heating, the power light is on, the selector switch is in the cook position, and a filter missing message is displayed (VH Model Only), the issue could be due to a missing Baffle Filter. Try installing the Baffle Filter. If it is already installed, make sure that you reinstall the Baffle Filter properly. Another possible cause is a missing Charcoal Filter, which would also need to be installed.
Why does my GILES Commercial Food Equipment fryer heat slowly with short cycles?
If your Giles Commercial Food Equipment fryer is heating slowly and the heat light is turning off and on continuously, it could be due to low supply voltage, so ensure you are supplying the proper voltage. Another possible cause is the variable probe touching the element; reposition the variable probe. A faulty cooking controller could also be the issue, requiring replacement.
Why does the basket lift on my GILES GEF-560-VH Fryer not function?
If the basket lift on your GILES Fryer isn't working, first ensure the power is ON. A faulty controller, a cooking cycle in progress (cancel or wait for completion), a misadjusted or faulty basket lift micro-switch, or a faulty basket lift motor/gearbox could also be responsible. Check and replace the controller, adjust or replace the switch, or replace the lift motor. Also, ensure the controller is not still in PREHEAT and the oil has reached the READY temperature.
Why is oil not pumping back to the fry pot in my GILES Fryer?
If oil isn't pumping back to the fry pot in your GILES Fryer, ensure the selector switch is in the [FILTER PUMP] position. Check for air leaks in the system (hoses, fittings, connector, Filter Pan) and eliminate them, ensuring the quick-disconnect is secure. A faulty pump motor, a clogged or damaged oil pump, or excessive sludge in the Filter Pan could also be the cause. Clean the Filter Pan and replace the media if necessary.
