  If your Winco Fryer isn't working, first check if it's properly plugged into a power source and that the power switch is turned on. Inspect the plug and cord for any damage; if damaged, call for service. Also, unplug the unit, let it cool, and clean any food debris from the heating element. Finally, check if the Safety Reset Switch has been activated due to dirty oil, too little oil, or improperly positioned heating elements. If problems persist, call for service.

  Oil boiling over in your Winco Fryer can be due to several reasons. You might have too much oil in the well, so reduce the amount. Another cause could be putting too much food in the basket; reduce the quantity. Also, too much water or ice crystals on the food can cause this issue. Make sure to dry the food or remove any ice before frying.

  If the Temperature Ready Light is on but the oil in your Winco Fryer isn't heating up, the thermostat or heating element may have failed, requiring you to call for service. Another possible cause is the activation of the Safety Reset Switch due to dirty oil, insufficient oil, or incorrect positioning of the heating elements. If problems persist, call for service.

  If the Temperature Ready Light on your Winco Fryer doesn't cycle on, but the fryer is operating normally, it could be due to a faulty indicator light, in this case you should call for service. Alternatively, the oil might have already reached the desired temperature, in which case you can use the fryer normally.
