Why is my Vulcan-Hart LG300 Fryer shortening breaking down so quickly?
- D
  donald23Aug 3, 2025
  Rapid shortening breakdown in your Vulcan-Hart Fryer can occur due to several reasons: * Excessive temperature settings (over 375°F). Adjust the temperature setting. * The shortening is not being filtered regularly. Adjust the filtering schedule. * Incorrect preparation of breaded food. Do not use salt, allow breading time to adhere to food, do not allow loose flour to fall into shortening from hands, do not add straining or drippings from meat fats to shortening, use correct shortening and follow temperature recommendations. * It can be helpful to take out 10% to 15% of the shortening and check thermostat settings with a thermometer periodically.

Why does the temperature of my Vulcan-Hart LG300 shortening drop or take too long to recover?
- K

  If the temperature of the shortening in your Vulcan-Hart Fryer drops or requires excessive recovery time, this could be due to: 1. Insufficient gas supply to the unit. Adjust the gas supply at the gas combination valve. 2. The ventilation system pulling heat out of the heat exchanger and flue box. Relocate the fryer. 3. Overloading the fryer capacity. Adjust loads accordingly. 4. Thermostat calibration issues. Calibrate or replace the thermostat.

What to do if the pilot light won't stay lit and my Vulcan-Hart Fryer shuts off?

  Terry GentryAug 15, 2025
  If the pilot light won't stay lit and your Vulcan-Hart Fryer shuts off, consider these potential causes: * A malfunctioning thermopile or loose/dirty connection in the thermopile. Check the thermopile function and connections, adjusting or replacing as needed. * The gas supply is turned off or disconnected. Clean burner orifice and air openings as required. * Pilot burner orifice and air openings need cleaning. Check each post on the combination valve to the ground. If zero resistance, replace the combination valve. * A shorted combination valve. Check the high limit to see if the NC contacts are open. * High limit is open.

How to fix a leaking tank on my Vulcan-Hart Fryer?
- D
  Duane BrownAug 20, 2025
  A leaking tank on your Vulcan-Hart Fryer can be caused by: * Foam-over by depleted shortening, allowing oil to drip from the tank surface. Replace the shortening. * Careless draining procedures. Ensure the gas control valve knob is in the PILOT or OFF position before draining oil, as burners heating an empty tank will damage tank joints. * Carbon buildup, which promotes acid formulation and attacks the tank. Clean the tank surfaces.

Why does the pilot burner flame on my Vulcan-Hart LG300 fluctuate and blow out even when adjusted?
- K
  Katherine LopezAug 27, 2025
  If the pilot burner flames on your Vulcan-Hart Fryer fluctuate and blow out easily, even after proper adjustment, it could be due to: * Gas pressure being too low. Check the gas pressure on the submanifold fitting when the fryer is in operation. * Gas pressure being too low at the submanifold. Check other equipment attached to the same gas line. * Adjust gas pressure at submanifold to not less than 4.0" W.C. (natural and mixed gas) or 10.0" W.C. for propane gas.
