4.1.2 Backup Thermostat Replacement - Computer Models Only
Only fryers that have computer controls have this backup thermostat. If your fryer does not have
a computer but does have a thermostat behind the door, this is a thermostat behind the door model.
That means that the knob behind the door controls the solid state temperature module behind the
fryer's control panel (front bezel). The backup thermostat includes the temperature adjustment knob,
temperature sensor inside the fryer tank, and connecting capillary tubing. The high limit controls
also has a temperature sensor in the fryer tank, so ensure you are removing the correct temperature
sensor.
CAUTION
Thermostat capillary tubing is very delicate. Be VERY CAREFUL when
working with the capillary tubing. If the tubing is kinked or broken the
thermostat is no longer usable.
a. Drain the oil from the fryer. The thermostat probe (heat sensor) is clamped to the heating
element assembly inside the tank. Unscrew and remove the two screws in the thermostat
probe clamp.
b. Remove the thermostat probe from the clamp and straighten the capillary tubing.
Unscrew the small hex nut inside the cabinet under the tank for the thermostat control.
c. Unscrew the large connector nut from the fryer tank and pull the thermostat probe and
capillary tubes through the opening.
d. Pull the knob off of the thermostat. Remove the entrance box cover to gain access to the
thermostat.
e. Mark and disconnect he wires from the thermostat terminals.
f. Remove the two screws that hold the thermostat to the inside of the entrance box. Remove
the defective thermostat control unit from the fryer.
g. Install the new thermostat in reverse order. Remember to be careful with the capillary
tubes.
